 In Kathmandu, Nepal, courageous dogs are honored on Divali, the Hindu holiday called the Festival of Lights. Brothers Alu and Bhalu have been searching in the earthquake ruins for a stray dog, a kukur, to celebrate. They finally spot a small black dog, who is in need of a home. The illustrations that were created with a combination of hand drawing and digital imagery add to the simple text. A glossary of Nepali words, a list of sources to learn more about Nepal, and another list of suggested activities are included. mjw |
