Jamaica's Find
Illustrated by Anne Sibley O'Brien
Jamaica visits the park on her way home and finds a red hat, which she hands to the park-keeper, and a love-worn stuffed dog which she takes home. Her family's reactions make her realise what she knows inside herself - that she should have handed the dog in too. Next day she takes the dog back to the park-keeper and makes another find - Kristin, 'the girl who belongs to that stuffed dog'.
The artist's illustrations are as eloquent as the author's sensitive text, reflecting the emotions and feelings of the characters and thus extending this highly moral story.
