(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Marc Scheff. This illustrated memoir follows seventeen-year-old Shelley Gill's travels with her beloved dog, Gabe, whom she adopted while volunteering at the 1972 Rainbow Gathering. Scheff's lush, romantic illustrations (in pencil and Photoshop) fill each page, capturing the turbulence of the times as well as Gabe's intensity. Gill's story is unique, but her subject and tone seem well beyond the intended audience. A brief historical note is appended.
