Over the Rainbow Bridge
Four Furry Friends

In the second book of the series, Harleiboo embarks on a journey over the rainbow bridge, meeting furry friends who also knew Ms. A.

Annette illustrates the enduring love for our pets. Even after they cross the
rainbow bridge, memories are cherished. While we miss our beloved pets, we
take comfort knowing they are free from pain or illness. This story encourages us to spread the love we had for them to others in our lives — whether that is a pet or a human.

reflect unconditional love, whether for our pets or people.
