One evening, while resting in his easy chair, cantankerous old Cornelius Basset-Hound takes his last breath. He is swept into a brilliant tunnel of light, which takes him directly to the gates of Dog Heaven.
There he meets Saint Bernard, who turns him away saying, "You are not ready to enter Heaven... Who wants to spend eternity with a miserly old grouch?"
Confused and alone, Cornelius is befriended by Sirius, the Dog Star, and other angelic helpers. As his journey unfolds, Cornelius learns the value of generosity, kindness, playfulness and love.
Children of all ages will be delighted by this unique and inspiring vision of heaven.
Each of our inspirational, award-winning children’s books has been selected from among the many hundreds of submissions we receive each year. We then find the perfect artist, whose vision and talent are unleashed to create a brilliantly illustrated, award-winning children’s picture book.
Cornelius and the Dog Star won the Award of Excellence from Body Mind Spirit Magazine in 1996.
