A Sick Day for Amos McGee
by Philip C. Stead
Print/braille children's book, $16.99
In contracted braille 
Ages 4 and up 

A Caldecott Award winner! 

Zookeeper Amos McGee always makes time to visit his good friends at work: he plays chess with the elephant, runs races with the tortoise (who always wins), sits quietly with the penguin, lends a handkerchief to the rhinoceros (who has a runny nose), and reads stories to the owl (who is afraid of the dark). 

One morning, Amos wakes up with a bad cold and decides to stay home in bed. His friends wait patiently and finally decide to pay Amos a visit at home. Amos, sitting up in bed, clasps his hands in delight when his friends arrive. The elephant plays chess with him, and the tortoise plays hide-and-seek. The penguin keeps Amos's feet warm, while the rhinoceros offers a handkerchief when Amos sneezes. They all share a pot of tea. Then the owl, knowing that Amos is afraid of the dark, reads a bedtime story as the other animals listen. They all sleep in Amos's room the rest of the night. 

If you want to give a child a book that will remain with them always... this is the one that you want. Marvelous.
