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.
