A beautifully lyrical story about grief, the loss of a pet and the unbreakable bond between child and furry friend. From debut picture book author, Harriet Howe, and Waterstones Children's Book Prize shortlistee and Carnegie Medal for Illustration nominee illustrator, Katie Cottle.

After a whole day of exploring with Tiger, Mae loved drawing with Tiger and telling stories with Tiger.
Always with Tiger. Tiger and Mae. Queens of the Jungle.

Tiger and Mae do everything together, the very best of friends. But there is nothing they love more than exploring, racing and chasing across their jungle. That is, until the call comes for "TEATIME!" and they race back to the house. As time moves on, Mae realises that Tiger is getting old and tired. And when Tiger then dies, Mae feels lost in a whirlwind of anger, fear and sadness. Even the safety of their jungle is stripped away. Only through time and healing does Mae learn that Tiger lives on - through her memories, pictures and their jungle itself.
