My Someone: A Pet Adoption Story - Hardcover
by Yuko Torii (Author), Yuko Torii (Illustrator)
A heartwarming picture book about a stray dog's journey to finding his forever home.
A little stray dog wanders the streets alone, afraid of everything he comes across--loud city noises, getting caught in the cold rain, and bigger dogs that fight for scraps. He doesn't like it! And he especially doesn't like it when he gets caught by animal rescue and is forced to be cleaned and scrubbed. But everything changes when a family chooses him to take home, helping him slowly discover all the things he does like--playing fetch, eating delicious food, and being loved forever. Through rich art and sparse text, debut author-illustrator Yuko Torii shows how to be grateful for every step of life's journey.Author Biography
Yuko Torii was born in a small town near Kobe, Japan. As a child, she always dreamed of traveling and discovering a new place to call home. Her dreams became a reality when she moved to Los Angeles and received a BFA in fine arts from the Otis College of Art and Design. She then worked at Louis Vuitton as a top hand-painter and a designer of trunks, including the "Malle Mars" (Mars Trunk) now displayed in the Fondation Louis Vuitton in Paris. She also worked as a master embosser for Anya Hindmarch of London. After living in New York for many years, participating in the city's active arts scenes, she and her husband made the move to Mexico, where she is enjoying the nation's ancient and contemporary cultural riches, as well as the warmth of its people. Yuko is a self-proclaimed "Queen of Kittyrature," a storyteller whose trademark characters are feline protagonists (largely inspired by her three cats, Mitternacht, Mondschein, and Parsifal), but she loves dogs just as much!
