Suki and Sam

Sam loves her dog, Suki. She also loves to paint. But when Suki gets old and dies, Sam's grief washes all the color out of her world.
Dr. Lisa Marotta handles the topic of death with grace and compassion. The illustrations are tastefully executed, and not too graphic for the youngest of readers.

Every counselor, especially for children, and every library, school or public, needs this book.
