A Home for Hope

Briar's Reviews

A Home for Hope! by Margie Blumberg is a delightfully sweet book with some gorgeous, colourful illustrations.

Hope is a puppy, introduced to us during some April showers. A hero comes by to save her, making sure she doesn't get lost in the rain. Over the course of this book, Hope goes through the process of finding a home! What an exciting time for an animal!

This story is very sweet and the colourful illustrations make the book fun. It shows Hope and her soon to be family facing struggles at the same time, and shows that many people face the same emotions. But then, eventually, the sun comes out and people have a great day!

Overall, a wonderful children's book that I highly recommend!

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

I read this book with my ten year old. We liked how it showed two different narratives and it brought them together at the end. We also liked that it started out sad and ended happy. We learned that rescuing animals can help both parties as long as they are given a happy home.
