After writing her first book, If Jesus Had a Dog, Sue's desire to share more about the journey of a dog named Ernie inspired other books. But this particular one had a deeper meaning, and she wanted to share it even before the other books were published, so she decided to have the last one printed second. Sue's desire to bring to children the love that Jesus has for all His creatures is what speaks in this book. The travels we have through our life, knowing that we are never alone and that Jesus is always with us, is all of life's journey. She wants children to relate to Jesus as Ernie does, knowing we are fully loved and never alone and that Jesus will take care of us through life and into our permanent home with Him.
