My Someone: A Pet Adoption Story

By Yuko Torii

A heartwarming picture book about a stray dog's journey to finding his forever home.

A little stray dog wanders the streets alone, afraid of everything he comes across--loud city noises, getting caught in the cold rain, and bigger dogs that fight for scraps. He doesn't like it

And he especially doesn't like it when he gets caught by animal rescue and is forced to be cleaned and scrubbed. But everything changes when a family chooses him to take home, helping him slowly discover all the things he does like--playing fetch, eating delicious food, and being loved forever.

Through rich art and sparse text, debut author-illustrator Yuko Torii shows how to be grateful for every step of life's journey.
