Bookroo's summary
Jamaica, a first grader, discovers a stuffed dog at the park and faces a moral dilemma: keep the toy she loves or do the right thing. Guided by her family, she must decide if the toy belongs to another child. This touching tale explores empathy and the challenges of making ethical choices in a diverse world. Will Jamaica choose to keep the toy or return it, and what will she learn about herself in the process?
From the publisher
Jamaica finds a stuffed dog at the playground and after taking him home discovers her conscience as well. “Children Jamaica’s age, struggling with the concepts of right and wrong, will undoubtedly find Jamaica’s moral dilemma of great interest.” – Publishers Weekly
