A Home for Hope

One rainy April day, a stray puppy is alone on the street when a young shelter hero, Jacques, rescues her and brings her to Sheltering Paws. Jacques names the puppy Hope and says, "Hope, I promise, we won't quit/Till you hear the words, 'You're it!'" At the same time, a young family, including two siblings named Kaye and Chip, is moving out of Nana's home into a fixer-upper a whole day's drive away. A tearful Chip says, "Uh-oh, Sis/It's almost noon./I can't say bye-/It's much too soon." What happens next? Find out in this heartwarming rhyming tale, which celebrates the 100th anniversary of the song "April Showers" with new lyrics to that hopeful springtime tune.
