Love Never Leaves: “Ruby Remembers” by Felice Van Eron Offers a Heartfelt Journey Beyond the Rainbow Bridge

In a world where saying goodbye is often the hardest lesson of all, “Ruby Remembers” by Felice Van Eron offers a gentle, faith-filled story that helps children and families navigate love, loss, and remembrance through the eyes of a beloved dog watching over those she adores.

“Ruby Remembers” tells the story of Ruby, a joyful Irish Setter whose life was filled with adventure, family, and unconditional love. Now in Heaven, Ruby looks down from the clouds, remembering her journey from traveling across states to meet her forever family, to running through yards, watching boats along the waterways, chasing tennis balls, and finding comfort in the simple joys of being deeply loved. As Ruby reflects on her life, young readers are invited to understand that while physical goodbyes may come, love never truly disappears.

With warm illustrations and a soothing narrative voice, “Ruby Remembers” introduces children to the comforting idea that pets live on in spirit, surrounded by peace, kindness, and care. The presence of St. Francis of Assisi, lovingly portrayed as the guardian of animals in Heaven, adds a gentle spiritual layer that reassures readers that all creatures are cherished and watched over.

This book is more than a story. It is a tool for healing.

Parents, grandparents, educators, and caregivers will find “Ruby Remembers” especially meaningful for helping children cope with the loss of a beloved pet, opening conversations about Heaven, remembrance, and gratitude, reinforcing themes of kindness, faith, and unconditional love, and creating a safe emotional space for children to process grief.
