Monsoon Dogs

This is a story of three dogs who live their lives and dreams for today, and they dream big!
Maya and her two puppies (Chai and Nuch) have found themselves homeless again due to the monsoon floods. Maya has to try and find a safe place for them all. Like all good mums, she believes in hope and love and will not stop searching until they are all in a safe and happy place.
They have fun along the way chasing frogs, organising a beach clean, making a boat and much, much more!
At the end of the day, they curl up to fall asleep. They dream of the Legend of the Boatman who cares for them. Their adventures continue as we follow the dogs on a journey to the wonders of the Oceans.
Monsoon Dogs is an uplifting, rhyming story that explores the importance of friendships, love and belonging. They wake each morning and fill their days and nights with as much as life can give them.

This simple story relates to the simple rhythm of life which could be located anywhere in the world. The dogs learn to cope and make the most of what life has given them. They eat, exercise, stay clean and maintain their joyful spirit every day and night. It is when they dream, we realise that they are able to transcend themselves to even greater joy.
This beautifully illustrated picture book is suitable for children aged between four to nine. A great bedtime read or as a classroom story to encourage discussions on animal kindness.
They may not have much; they may not need much but they may want you!
Follow them and their simple beat of life again and again and again.
