Sam in Winter

(2) 4-6 Translated by David Colmer. Illustrated by Philip Hopman. This sequel to A Dog like Sam has a similar arc to its predecessor, with a focus on relationships between dog and human. The author maintains tension without sentimentalizing the dog, the boy, or rural life. A straightforward prose style is matched by the elegant pen-and-ink drawings that pull us even further into the distinctive landscape and into each scene's emotional tenor.
