What Omri Read
“You know how some books look really cool…they have lovely fabric covers, and simple, stylized illustrations, and then you open them and the contents are banal, generic and disappointing?
This is not one of those books.
…
The first time I read this book, I shed a tear, and even now, it reminds me of the strong bonds we make as children. You don’t have to have owned a dog, to love this book, you just need to know what it’s like to have loved and lost, or to have put your heart on the line.
Jennifer has done a lovely job of illustrating this touching book, using a simple color palette, and many two-page scenes.
It is touching, engaging, considered and sweet, and is a beautiful reminder of how good it feels, to care for, and connect with, others [animal, or otherwise]
…
If you have ever put your heart on the line, this will remind you of how that feels."
