Book Overview

CALDECOTT MEDAL WINNER - NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - This charming, wordless board book vibrantly explores the joy and sadness that having a special toy can bring.

A KIRKUS REVIEWS BEST PICTURE BOOK OF THE CENTURY

"Raschka's genius lies in capturing the essence of situations that are deeply felt by children." --School Library Journal (starred review)

Daisy is a dog whose world revolves around her favorite toy ball. She always has it with her--on walks, during naps on the couch, even on visits to the local dog park. But when another dog at the park accidentally pops Daisy's ball, her sadness at the loss is overwhelming.

Expertly and wordlessly told through gorgeous watercolor illustrations, Caldecott Medal winner Chris Raschka has created a comforting narrative to help children navigate feelings of loss, sadness, and uncertainty. His illustrations powerfully portray Daisy's emotions, and the satisfying, cheerful ending will appeal to young dog lovers, teachers, and parents of children who are missing something special.

With impressionistic artwork and a positive message at its core, A Ball for Daisy is an affectionate story that shows how embracing change and forgiveness can result in beautiful new beginnings.
