This is a story of three homeless dogs who live their lives and dreams for today, and they dream big!
Maya and her two puppies, Chai and Nuch have found themselves homeless again due to the monsoon floods. Maya has to try and find a safe place for them all. Like all good mums, she believes in hope and love and will not stop searching until they are all in a safe and happy place.
Monsoon dogs is an uplifting, rhyming story that explores the importance of family, love and belonging. They wake every morning and fill their days and nights with as much as life can give them.
This simple story relates to the simple rhythm of life which could be located anywhere in the world. The stray dogs learn to cope and make the most of what life has given them. They eat, exercise, stay clean and maintain their joyful spirit every day and night. It is when they dream, we realise that they are able to transcend themselves to an even greater joy.
This beautifully illustrated picture book is suitable for children aged between four to nine. A great bedtime read or as a classroom story to encourage discussions on animal kindness and the environment.
They may not have much; they may not need much but they may want you!
Follow them and their simple beat of life again and again and again.
