The Old Woman

An old woman shares her home with a scruffy old dog, her best friend and constant companion.

One fall day, they go for a walk and the woman throws sticks for the dog.

She loves hearing the autumn leaves under her feet and the wind in the trees.

She looks up at a crow in the sky and imagines what it might feel like to fly.

As the wind comes up and the light begins to fade, she remembers playing outside as a child, never wanting to go in.

Suddenly she notices a stunning harvest moon against the darkening sky.

The next morning, as she sits outside to watch the sun rise, she looks forward to spending a new day with her friend. Gentle illustrations accompany this portrayal of an elderly person who lives peaceably with her dog, appreciating what each moment brings.
