“It was a perfect day for a picnic. Until they saw him—a dog without a home.“

convey emotion with simplicity and grace. Based on a true story, this Caldecott Honor book captures the joys of connecting with animals and highlights the importance of kindness.

This is a story that will always tear at my heart. Jenny does a great job of showing how death and life play roles with animals but as an animal lover myself it‘s hard to imagine what some animals go through. I definitely suggest it as a read but have tissues nearby.

Beautiful and sad true memoir by Allen Say.

The fuzzball is my brothers dog. He‘s my reading buddy a lot of times #pets #dogs #readingbuddy #kindle #libby

I enjoy any books that have animals as the main characters and this one was also really cute with the illustrations of the cats. Overall this book didn't make the biggest impression on me but would still be a nice addition to a classroom library.

With simple, expressive illustrations, it captures the joys of companionship, the sadness of loss, and the comfort of new beginnings. This touching tale helps young readers understand the emotions of saying goodbye and finding healing.
