Here are twelve deeply moving short stories from the perceptive pen of Cynthia Rylant. Each captures the moment when someone's life changes when an animal causes a human being to see things in a different way, and, perhaps, changes his life.
Twelve stories in which animals change people's lives for the better.
With a deft hand, Rylant offers readers glimpses of the lives of 12 people, whose lives are altered by their contact with animals. Ages 10-up. (Oct.)
