Gobi: A little Dog with a Big Heart by Dion Leonard is the true story of a little stray dog Dion Leonard found in the Gobi Desert while doing a marathon race. There are so many aspect of this book my littles and I loved.
1. This is a true story.
2. Gobi and Dion build a very strong bond... and Dion ends up adopting Gobi. This is such a great illustration of being adopt (especially if you have children adopted internationally). The book briefly covers the process Gobi went through to get reunited with Dion. Even though Gobi is a dog, he is Dion's family.
This hard covered book is a great gift for preschoolers, any animal lovers (especially dog lovers), and families with adopted children. We loved this heart warming story.
