In "The Dog With No Name," a quiet moment of compassion takes center stage as Sue Stringly shares her heartfelt wish for Christmas: a light on the old water tower to guide in the ducks that keep flying into it. When another duck crashes during a visit from Veronica, the girls take matters into their own hands, climbing the tower with a flashlight to help the birds find their way. Written and illustrated by Bob Bolling, with colors by Barry Grossman and letters by Bolling, this touching tale shines a gentle light on kindness and care. The cover by Dexter Taylor captures the moment with warmth and charm.
