Next Door's Dog Goes to School

Grace wants to be able to do everything other children do and now that she has Roxie she can. If Grace needs help, Roxie knows exactly what to do.

With insightful illustrations and written in a sensitive and friendly style, Next Door’s Dog Goes to School is about understanding the important role of dogs in our society and how they potentially change people’s lives.
