Fred Stays with Me!

(1) K-3 Illustrated by Tricia Tusa. Divorce gets a kid-empowering treatment in this congenial story. The narrator is matter-of-fact about her living situation, and where she goes, so goes her roly-poly mutt, Fred. Soft red- and brown-hued illustrations, securely bordered by lots of white space, reinforce the self-possessed mood of the text and focus attention on the special relationship between the girl and her dog.
