As an artist, teacher of art, writer, and pet owner I was totally overwhelmed by the sensitivity in both the writing and the illustrations in "Susie's New Brother." Even the beginning of the story held a surprise. In looking at the cover, I assumed Susie was the child...but no, Susie is the sweet, trying to understand, trying to please little dog faced by a very loud, time consuming new addition to her family...the time and family focus that used to belong to Susie...telling her story.Beautifully done, I very highly recommend this poignant little book to anyone who has a child or a pet who has been the focus of the family's attention and who is expecting a new baby, whether two- or four-legged. It is filled with compassion and understanding.
