Caldecott Winner: A Sick Day for Amos McGee

I sat through a librarian doing story time with this book,   A Sick Day for Amos McGee , illustrated by Erin E. Stead, written by Philip C. Stead.  This is the 2011 Caldecott Award Winner.  It's a sweet story of how the animals take care of their caretaker after he becomes sick. 

The children listening to the book asked several relevant questions and were very attentive.  Another good story with a Golden Rule them.  I appreciated the duality of the book, the 2nd half mirrors the first half.  The artwork can be described as sparse yet lively and complements the story perfectly.
