Goodbye Poonjab
Written and illustrated by Gabriel McMichael

In Gabriel McMichael’s debut book, Goodbye Poonjab, children follow the story of a young boy, named Elijah, who suffers the loss of the family dog. Elijah, with the help of his parents, struggles to overcome the difficulties of losing the beloved family pet. He learns he cannot shut the door on love, and he must find the strength to allow love back into his life through a new dog.

Goodbye Poonjab is a timeless, heart-filled story about the courage to love. Gabriel’s detailed, hand illustrated artwork adds a special warmth to this tale. This book was written and illustrated with four purposes in mind:

– To tell and illustrate a good, solid story that both children and parents will enjoy
– A book that parents can use to help a child deal with the loss of the family pet
– A book that can also aid children in the grieving process of losing a friend or family member
– Lastly, it highlights the importance of adopting animals from local shelters

Camilia
Camilia for Teething

Many parents take a two-step approach when it comes to teething medicine. They apply a fast-acting, topical numbing agent frequently throughout the day, while limiting the use of an internal longer-lasting anti-inflammatory for the night. Camilia offers an all-you-need homeopathic solution. Unlike general pain relievers or anesthetics that just numb the pain, benzocaine-free Camilia relieves painful gums, irritability and minor digestive disorders associated with teething.*

Packaged in single-unit liquid doses, Camilia is easy to administer and can be used for babies 1 month and older. When babies are not their most cooperative, just snap off the cap and squeeze the tasteless, pre-measured liquid into the mouth. No messy clean-ups. No need to know the child’s weight. And no need to worry about applying gel to the correct area with your finger or about infants potentially choking.
