Stormy: A Story About Finding a Forever Home

Guojing
Ej Guo

In this heartwarming, wordless picture book that's perfect for dog lovers, a woman visits a park and discovers a pup hiding under a bench—scruffy, scared, and alone. With gentle coaxing, the woman tries to befriend the animal, but the dog is too scared to let her near. Day after day, the woman tries—and day after day, the dog runs away. With perseverance and patience—and help from an enticing tennis ball—a tentative friendship begins. But it's not until a raging storm forces the two together that a joyous and satisfying friendship takes hold. Guojing poignantly explores how trust doesn't always come easily, but how, over time, and with kindness and determination, forever love can grow.—Amazon



"If you've ever even looked at a dog through a telescope—much less loved and cared for one—this book is guaranteed to make you cry. Beautiful illustrations!"—Submitted by Paul D., SIA
