The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein


A wonderfully heart wrenching story about loyalty, reflection, family and wonders. A must for animal lovers. While not a picture book, it would be a great read aloud for children 12 years old and up. Written from the point of view of the dog, this story provides an opportunity to look at the world in a different way. Use the following website of the author to assist with focussing discussion and reflection http://www.garthstein.com/arr/. There is also a wonderful video to share on the author's website from National Geographic,
