It’s All the same forest is a story about the everlasting bond between a girl and her cat. Written by licensed psychotherapist, Paige Rechtman, before the passing of her beloved soulmate-kitty, Squiggles, the poem took on deeper meaning after her loss.

In the wake of her grief, Paige began illustrating the original poem, letting memories and emotion guide the images that now bring the story to life. Working on this project became a deeply therapeutic act, one that helped her process her grief while cherishing the memories they shared.

This book is both a personal story and an invitation to explore your relationship with your own pet. At the end, you’ll find a guided poetry exercise to help you honor your pet by creating something from the heart.
