Where Are You, Brontë?
Tomie dePaola, illustrated by Barbara McClintock
Where Are You, Brontë? traces Tomie dePaola’s life with his dog, from Brontë’s puppyhood through adulthood, blindness in old age, and death. The repeated question accompanies Tomie’s memories and his grief after the loss. An early wordless scene shows a framed photograph and an unused dog bed. As the story continues, Tomie moves from feeling depleted to recognizing that Brontë remains with him in his heart. Barbara McClintock’s illustrations blend her approach with dePaola’s style.
