Elki is Not My Dog
Age range 4+
When a small group of children befriend a stray dog, the entire community is inspired to become involved.
Elki does not have a home — she is a stray dog who finds kindness in the company of a little group of children. They play together during the day, but Elki must stay alone outside every night because dogs are not allowed in their block of flats. One day Elki disappears and is found injured. Who will look after her and how?
