Smile, Chewie! is the second installment in the Furever Home Friends series written by Savy Leiser. Chewie is having a difficult time adjusting to life in the shelter. He had gotten used to living as a stray. Except when he was injured after begging for food from the wrong human.
Now Chewie bares the scars from that horrible night. He shies away from potential adopters. Chewie knows that no one will want to adopt a pit bull. Will he ever be able to find a forever home?
I really enjoyed this book. Being the owner of five rescue dogs and three cats, this story really tugs at my heartstrings. I love how Leiser tackles the controversial issue of pit bulls and the stigma that surrounds them. I think that children will have a better understanding of the breed after reading Chewie's story.
Christy Schneyman's illustrations are adorable and heartwarming. The images have a hand-drawn feel and her use of light and pastel colors is truly stunning.
This is a wonderful story for dog lovers of all ages and would make a great gift for those working in animal rescue.
