The Library's new StoryWalk title is now on display at the French Art Colony.
Our title for April/May is I'm Not Missing written by Kashelle Gourley and illustrated by Skylar Hogan.
Our dog narrator lets you know right away that "it was Ruff", living a dog's life - the silly costumes, the tricks for treats, wearing the cone of shame, being called fat by the vet, and having absolutely no privacy when going to the bathroom!
So, he decides to leave the pet life behind him to become a "lone wolf". Now on his own, he is "living the dream". Or is he?
Out walking around, he sees his owner (actually, ex-owner) playing, sharing treats, and taking selfies with a new dog! He used to do all those things with his owner - has she forgotten him already?
Maybe, he decides, being a pet is not so bad after all. But, is he too far in the doghouse to be able to go back?
Read (and view) the story to find out!

StoryWalk is a way for children and adults to enjoy both the great outdoors and great children's books. Follow the pages of the story as you walk from frame to frame along the path. StoryWalk promotes literacy, physical activity, and parent/caregiver involvement.
The StoryWalk Project was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, VT and developed in collaboration with the Kellogg Hubbard Library. StoryWalk is a registered service mark owned by Ms. Ferguson.
