January Book: Love That Dog

Sophie gave me this book for Christmas, and I just finished it. Absolutely adorable. It’s a collection of poems by a little boy who’s grieving over the loss of his dog. The poems are sweet, simple, heartfelt, and really beautiful. TBH one made me cry.

This book is a quick read, but it leaves a lasting impression. There was a period of my life when I hated poetry, but I can now say it’s one of my favorite genres. This book got me stoked to do a poetry unit with my kids.
