Produktbeschreibung
A WWII veteran finds joy in his community as the new mailman, who, along with a few dogs, brings hope back to a grieving community.    George lives a peaceful life on his family farm in Indiana until he is recruited for the US army for WWII. While George longed to go back home throughout the war, home is a very different place when he returns. His family farm has been sold and George must find a new job. Though he swore he would never wear a uniform again, George becomes a letter carrier. Then, something unexpected and miraculous happens—friendly neighborhood dogs begin following him on his daily route. As the parade of dogs quickly grows each day, so too does the joy spread in a community still healing from loss.   John Spray’s stepfather is the inspiration behind the character George, who was a celebrated WWII veteran and post-war letter carrier—loved by both the people and dogs in his small town, Lafayette, Indiana. Scot Ritchie illustrates with powerful depth and humor.  .  
Autorenporträt
John Spray grew up in Lafayette, Indiana and was inspired by his beloved step-father, George, to write Lucky Dog Comes Home. John emigrated to Canada in the early 1970’s, making Toronto his home. He founded Mantis Investigation, which continues to be a successful PI company for nearly 50 years. Now semi-retired, John enjoys spending time with his wife and their six grandchildren. John’s previous picture book, What Cats Think, illustrated by Mies van Hout received high praise from School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Booklist, and Kirkus.
