Tyler Rich Releases First Children’s Book
Tyler Rich has released his first children’s book, Dogs Don’t Die. The book, and Rich’s song of the same name, was written in the wake of saying goodbye to his own dog, Abby. The text was written by Rich and illustrated by Robby F.
“This book came from one of the hardest goodbyes of my life,” says Rich. “But I wanted to create something that could bring comfort, especially to kids who are experiencing that kind of loss for the first time. Dogs give us so much joy and unconditional love — this is my way of honoring that.”
The book is available now in hardback, paperback and Kindle editions.
