“Walnut and Me,” by Sam Anderson, illustrations by Gaia Alari, May 31 at nytimes.com/magazine

In a perfect match of artist and writer, The New York Times Magazine commissioned Gaia Alari to illustrate Sam Anderson's deeply personal tale about his family dog, Walnut. Alari's deceptively simple work subtly complements the nuance and depth of the narrative, taking readers on an emotional journey that is, in turns, whimsical and profound.
