When Rosie Walks George

“In a series of moving spreads, it’s George who sits vigil all night long at the water’s edge when Rosie’s ball washes out to sea, and George who returns it to her the next morning. In this tender day-to-day portrait about caretaking across every stage of life, the creators follow George as carefully and lovingly as he watches Rosie.” —Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Gentle and comforting.” —Kirkus Reviews “From the simple, well-chosen words of the narrative to the understated but essential connection between the old dog and the young child who care for each other, the book draws listeners in with its heartfelt tale and lovable main characters. Fresh and airy as a summer day by the sea, the digital illustrations portray the main characters and the seaside setting vividly. A satisfying picture book.” —Booklist
