Koda's best friend is a dog. But, she does not have one of her own. Mommy made it clear that before they adopt a dog, Koda must prove that she is responsible enough to care for one. How will she do that? Through whimsical, hand-painted watercolors, at the age of 17, illustrator, Sheridan Blitz captures the determined journey of one little girl learning the sometimes agonizing meaning of responsibility with the reward of adopting a dog. This children's picture book, appropriate for ages 4 - 8 years old (and their readers), consists of 33 illustrations.
