Lies, Brian,
The rough patch / [written and illustrated by] Brian Lies. - First edition. - 1 volume (unpaged) : color illustrations ; 25 x 30 cm
This Caldecott Honor Book tells the story of a fox gardener’s grief when his best friend, a dog, passes away. He expresses that grief through his garden, where his work to create “the saddest and most desolate spot” eventually leads him full circle, back to life and new possibilities. (Miller Library Staff) Farmer Evan and his dog do everything together, especially in the garden. But when his dog passes away Evan lets his garden fill with weeds until a pumpkin vine brings new hope. Evan and his dog do everything together. They play and read and eat. But mostly you will find them tending to Evan's extraordinary garden, where flowers and other good things flourish and reach for the sky. But friends don't always stay forever, and when Evan loses his, he destroys the place that meant the most to them, and creates something to match his mood. Something ugly and twisted, sad and stubborn, ragged and rough - and he likes it that way. Until one day ... New York Times-bestselling author Brian Lies has created a breathtakingly beautiful and luminescent book about loss and grief, love and hope, and the healing power of friendship, curiosity, and nature.--From dust jacket.
Recommended for primary school (age 6-12) and up.
