A Dog Named Haku: A Holiday Story from Nepal by Amish Karanjit, Ruth Jeyaveeran, Margarita Engle, Nicole Karanjit
4.0

AHHHH. I was not expecting this heartwarming story that mixes true life with holiday fables. In this special holiday brothers and sisters in Nepal give each other gifts, but also honor creatures great and small. Alu and Bhalu decide to honor a stray dog. After All the dogs never stopped searching for them after the earthquake that brought disaster to their city. And they are not going to stop searching until they find a dog that they can help. A wonderful story with bits thrown in about a holiday a world away. Lovely and memorable.
