Rescue and Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship by Patrick Downes, Jessica Kensky

4.0

This book follows both Rescue the service dog and Jessica, a girl who eventually becomes a double amputee, focusing on their journeys to one another as well as how the world becomes more accessible, joy filled, and peaceful. I really like that this book is so positive and sweet, while still acknowledging how emotionally painful and scary it is to go through such an endeavor. It was just educational enough that kids will get a sense of service dogs and how the process works, as well as the hard, long work that goes into relearning how to do life as an amputee.
