REVIEWS

Many of my students will see themselves in this heartwarming story as they watch a little boy adjust to living in a new country and making it his home as he learns another language. The illustrations of a variety of dogs are delightful.

Kids will relate to Leo’s worries, and cheer for his well-earned happy ending.
-Christy Meisler, Cambridge Public Library

The heartwarming illustrations in Leo’s Dogs beautifully capture the bond between a boy and the dogs he reads to at a shelter. The dogs’ unconditional love helps Leo improve his English skills while he helps them stay hopeful.
–Kerry Mooney, President, Brendan’s Meadows Rescue

Leo’s journey with the shelter dogs beautifully demonstrates the reciprocal nature of kindness. By sharing his love and attention with the dogs, he not only helps them, but also finds joy and improvement in his own life.
