About the author
Charline Davis
8 books6 followers Charline Davis came into the world telling stories. From the age of four you could often find her surrounded by a little group of friends, amusing them with a story she was spinning on the spot. When she was nine, she began regaling her sisters with tales of a Martian who was living on Earth and loved comfy chairs. This Martian eventually became Alou, and it has been such a joy for her to share his world through her picture book series.
Charline has interests varied and many. When she is not writing, chances are she is singing, painting, hiking, acting, or taming her giant Anatolian Shepherd who seems to view himself as more wolf than dog.
In the light of day she takes her ukulele downtown and plays for the passersby and in the dark of the night she gathers notebooks, pencils, and candlelight and with the mixture, creates stories woven of dreams and heartache.
Charline hopes to one day shock the world with the unveiling of her magnum opus...

I have read the ARC of this, the 3rd book of the Alou trilogy. It’s a great addition to the Alou saga. Very sweet and heartwarming and the illustrations are simply precious. We’ve seen Alou do a lot of exploring and now we get see him experience adopting a child! It’s a must read for any Alou fan and a perfect book for any young child to enjoy!

I bought this book for my grandson. I read it before gifting it to him.
I think it’s a great children’s book. It’s good for kids to learn early that, despite cultural differences, we can get along.
Sorry, I don’t have my grandson’s review yet.
