Gold Mine Processing Associate Janis Tedrow recommends The Dog Who Followed the Moon by James Norbury.
When I initially got the illustrated children’s book, The Dog Who Followed the Moon, I had my six-year-old granddaughter in mind. But as soon as I started reading the book, I realized it is not only a book for children, but a book for everyone.
The two animal characters are the puppy, Amaya, and the old wolf. They come together under unusual circumstances and compassion. While searching for her parents, Amaya, was attacked by a pack of wolves. An old wolf from the pack had a change of heart and saved Amaya from all the others. The wolf and Amaya began a journey together without understanding the destination.
They started following the moon and soon discovered what they were looking for was each other.
As they embarked on this journey and embraced this adventure together, they learned lessons about the endurance of life, the meaning of love and the fact that what you do gives meaning to life.
This fable explores themes of friendship, connections, and personal growth. It also reflects love, grief, and resilience. The is an excellent book for any young child and/or their parents.
