Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship

32 pp. | Candlewick | April, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7636-9604-7 $16.99
(2) K-3 Illustrated by Scott Magoon. Disappointed Rescue becomes a service dog rather than a seeing eye dog; meanwhile, human Jessica learns her leg has been amputated. Brought together, they form a powerful, caring bond working as a team. Based on a true story, the quiet and stirring text pairs beautifully with the spot art and full-page illustrations, which use color and white space to convey time, meaning, and emotion with great effect.
