"A beautifully warm-hearted story about a dog and the group of children who adopt it. "
A Julia Eccleshare Pick of the Month March 2024
When a stray dog turns up in the park where the children are playing they notice she is exhausted, thirsty and dirty. What her name is and where she comes from nobody knows. But the children call her Elki and soon she is sharing in their games in the park, eating ice cream when it is hot and playing in the snow when the winter comes.
The children love playing with her and feeding her and sharing with her but, when they all go into their homes at the end of the day, no one knows where Elki goes.
One day Elki gets sick. Now the children have to find a way to reach out and make her safe but making sure she part of their family and community. Both the illustrations and the text capture this very special relationship perfectly.
When a small group of children befriend a stray dog, the entire community is inspired to become involved.
