Justine is an inveterate eavesdropper, and this time she overhears her neighbors saying "Pavel's dog is dead now!". She
decides to comfort Pavel, a Balkans refugee, whose dog was his only family in North America, and she discovers that his
problems go deeper than losing a pet. One of the few easy-to-read books to address immigration and refugees. Black and white
images on every page.
