Sammy in the Sky

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jamie Wyeth. When the tomboy narrator's dog Sammy dies, she and her parents discover that they can remember him by looking at clouds and seeing the things Sammy loved. Walsh's text about coming to terms with loss is comforting and accessible. Wyeth's soft watercolor paintings create the quiet emotional context of the story.
