'Tales of the Boatman's Dogs' is a special collection of children's picture books about how a humble flower salesman who is unable to look after the amount of homeless dogs that he sees each day. He helps a small amount of dogs to get better but wishes that he could do more for them.
This complete 5 ebook collection:
- Begins with the modern-day fairy tale of how the 'Legend of the Boatman' became a legend. The legend who came from the stars to help all homeless dogs forevermore.
- 'Monsoon Dogs' follows a young mom called Maya as she guides and protects her puppies from the monsoon rains.
- 'Carnival Dogs' follows three puppies as they seek shelter from the harsh climate by following a travelling fair.
- 'Polar Dogs' follows three snow dogs as they manage to get lost from their pack. The final story, called
- 'Temple Dogs, ' revisits a dog from each of the previous stories as they unite and create a great team.
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 only when they dream that we realise that they are able to transcend themselves to an even greater joy.
These modern folk tales relate to the simple rhythm of life, which could be located anywhere in the world. Places in the world where it is hot and places where it is cold. Places where there are temples and fun fairs. Places, even out of this world!
Follow them for just one day and one night, with their simple beat of life again and again and again.
They may not have much; they may not need much, but they may want you!
These beautifully illustrated picture books with their ragged, broken rhymes are suitable for children aged between four to eight. A great bedtime story or as a classroom read to encourage discussions on animal kindness and the environment.
