Why was Fabio sad and snappy?<br />
A brother would make a sad dog happy!<br />
Fabio is an only dog, and though life is good, he longs for a<br />
brother to play with him, to share his toys, and to show off to his<br />
friends. His owners agree: the time has come to get a second dog.<br />
A nasty surprise is in store for Fabio. The dog they bring<br />
home is not the frisky brother of his dreams. It is fat old Gracie,<br />
fresh from the pound. She’s tired, she’s shy, and worst of all,<br />
she’s a girl!<br />
My Sister Gracie has had tremendous international success and<br />
is available in several languages because it is a universal story that<br />
resonates with any child who has wanted a sibling, only to be<br />
surprised that what arrives is not the full-fledged playmate he or<br />
she expected. Gillian Johnson’s lively art and text were inspired<br />
by a beagle-basset named Gracie who was adopted at a very ripe<br />
age from the local SPCA and became a cherished family pet.<br />
GILLIAN JOHNSON’s My Sister Gracie was awarded the Alcuin Design Award<br />
when it was first published in hardcover in 2002, and has earned fans<br />
in Belgium, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, Iceland, Slovenia and<br />
Venezuela. She has collaborated with author Richard Scrimger,<br />
providing the illustrations for their books about Baby Bun Bun, and<br />
with Linda Maybarduk for her book, James the Dancing Dog. She has also<br />
illustrated Dennis Lee’s The Cat and the Wizard and Thomas Keneally’s<br />
Roos in Shoes. Gillian Johnson is married and has two sons.<br />
PRAISE FOR MY SISTER GRACIE:<br />
“The rhyming tale is enhanced by whimsical watercolor cartoons....<br />
The pictures are humorous…and appealing. An endearing addition<br />
to stories about family relationships and sibling rivalry.” –School<br />
Library Journal<br />
“Sibling rivalry gets funny, nerve-striking treatment…. Johnson combines<br />
witty, Seuss-like language with delightfully silly images.” –Maclean’s<br />
