The Stray and the Strangers // by Steven Heighton // illustrated by Melissa Iwai
For me as an adult, this was a very quick read but I think it would be a great book for a younger reader that's ready to branch out on their own or even read aloud by a parent. Seeing a refugee story from the eyes of a stray dog is interesting and invites your child to a conversation you might otherwise not know how to approach. This books is simple but well done, and I really enjoyed reading it. The illustrations by Iwai are adorable and accompany the story well.
Thank you to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.
