About this ebook
- Josie brings her special blanket everywhere, but when her grandmother washes it, it looks so different that Josie throws it away. Luckily the next day, when she needs her blanket, it turns up right in the nick of time.
- A sweet story that takes on coping with change and how a friendship can still be strong, even if a friend (like Josie's blanket) changes.
- Captures the significance of a security object for kids, whether it's a blanket or a specific toy or other object, which many young readers will relate to.
- This wordless tale in a graphic novel style brilliantly conveys a full narrative and makes a good book to help struggling readers build literacy skills, as well as a study for how to use composition and pacing to tell a story without text.
- This is the second collaboration between Sara Cassidy and Brady Sato. They worked together on Kunoichi Bunny, another wordless story about a child and their favorite toy, which was chosen as a New York Public Library Best Book for Kids.
