DJ and the Flood

Beschreibung

DJ the dog is frightened of water! Swept away by a big flood, DJ was cold, wet and hungry for five whole days before his human, Mark, found him. Now he's scared to swim - he's even scared of the hose. When it rains, he howls and makes messes in the house. How will he overcome his fears? Based on a true story, this book shows children the true meaning of bravery. It comes with a digital handbook, written in partnership with a clinical psychologist, to help parents and teachers ease the trauma of children who've been through a natural disaster.
