A Sick Day for Amos McGee was written by Phillip C. Stead and illustrated by Erin E. Stead. This book was published by Roaring Brook Press n 2010. It also won the Caldecott Medal in 2010 and the Best Illustrated Children's Book Award. This is a picture book geared to elementary school students. The theme of this book is the development of friendships. The main character in this book is a zookeeper named Amos McGee. He develops friendships with the aminals in the zoo, and learns how to be a good friend to each of them. When Amos is sick one day, his animal friends come to visit and care for him. I would use this book in a unit about animals and friendship.
