Here Comes Bella by Seth Karnes

Here Comes Bella is a heartfelt picture book about love, loss, and the healing power of new friendship. Liam, a cheerful little boy, adores his Dachshund, Lola. They share endless days of fun and laughter—playing fetch, snuggling close, and sharing special moments. But when Lola grows old and passes away, Liam’s world suddenly feels quiet and empty without his best friend. He misses her wagging tail, her gentle cuddles, and the warmth she brought to every day. Then, one afternoon, a tiny Chihuahua named Bella peeks through the fence, curious and full of life. At first, Liam isn’t sure his heart is ready, but Bella’s playful spirit begins to fill the empty spaces, showing him that love can return in new and unexpected ways.

Tender and reassuring, Here Comes Bella helps children navigate grief and change, leaving readers with a sense of comfort, hope, and the enduring nature of love.
