Madeline Finn and the Library Dog
Creators
American author and illustrator Lisa Papp was inspired by her local library’s “Read-to-Dogs” program. “These former shelter dogs are now spending their lives helping children. It’s a beautiful thing to watch.” Most of the dogs featured in the book were once living a life on the streets or in shelters. Lisa spent the better part of a year following these wonderful dogs and their dedicated owners.

It’s a warm, encouraging story that suggests that perfection isn’t necessary in order to achieve one’s goals, and that help can be found in unexpected corners.
