"Winner of the 2012 Randolph Caldecott Medal This ""New York Times"" Bestseller and ""New York Times"" Best Illustrated Book relates a story about love and loss as only Chris Rashcka can tell it. Any child who has ever had a beloved toy break will relate to Daisy's anguish when her favorite ball is destroyed by a bigger dog. In the tradition of his nearly wordless picture book ""Yo! Yes?, "" Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka explores in pictures the joy and sadness that having a special toy can bring.
