Jasper's Day

32 pp. | Kids Can | September, 2002 | Trade ISBN 1-55074-957-9 $$15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Anne Wilson. On the day their beloved, cancer-stricken dog is to be put to sleep, a boy and his family celebrate Jasper's life by taking him to see his favorite places and people. The realistic portrait of a child coping with loss is understated and poignant. Soft chalk pastel illustrations complement the first-person text.
