A Sick Day for Amos McGee《阿莫的生病日》，是作者的第一本书竟然获得了凯迪克金奖、纽时最佳童书奖等，奥巴马一家也为孩子们读过此书，可见美国人有多爱这本书。
这是一本凯迪克金奖绘本，画风虽然都是淡淡的味道，但却给人非常温暖的感觉。书中的阿莫伯伯，不是顽皮活泼的小孩子，也不是可爱的小动物，而是一位安安静静、慈祥的老人，而且是个老好人！他也许和小朋友的爷爷奶奶们一样，平静地生活在寂静的时光里。但是有爱和关怀，生病都是好日子。在孩子心田，播撒了爱和温暖。同时以舒缓的节奏，为生活在繁忙大都市里的人们，讲述了一则打动我们日渐冷漠心弦的小故事。
阿莫是一位和善的动物园管理员，过着规律平淡而又充实快乐的日子。每天，他都要挤出时间去看望几位好朋友：陪大象下棋、和乌龟赛跑、跟企鹅坐坐、给爱流鼻涕的犀牛递手绢，并且给猫头鹰讲故事。可是有一天，他醒来时又流鼻涕又打喷嚏，没能正常去动物园，却在家里接待了几位意想不到的客人……
