Letters to Leo

(2) 4-6 Illustrated by Julia Denos. Fourth-grader Annie, (Remembering Mrs. Rossi), is still adjusting to life after her mother's death. She gets a dog, Leo, and writes letters to him, journal-style, much like the late Mrs. Rossi's students wrote letters to Annie. Illustrated with doodles and lists, the letters allow her time to reflect and heal. Readers will enjoy watching Annie grow as a friend and a daughter.
