Cainele poetului

Teddy is a dog who understands human speech. Yet only children and poets can understand him in return. A poet takes him into a cabin filled with books. There, Teddy learns words and comes to enjoy life with people. He also learns to face hardship and help those in need.

When a blizzard strikes, Teddy braves the storm to rescue two lost children. Nickel and Flora find food, light, and a warm fire in the cabin. Teddy offers them friendship, but the poet is nowhere to be found.

This children's story by Patricia MacLachlan explores grief, kindness, and love. The children, dog, and poet learn from one another. Their bonds help them face loss and trust in love again. Humor and warmth sit alongside the story's sadness. MacLachlan is a Newbery Medal winner.
