From Newbery Medal winner Patricia MacLachlan comes a poignant
story about two children, a poet, and a dog and how they help one
another survive loss and recapture love. Teddy is a gifted dog.
Raised in a cabin by a poet named Sylvan, he grew up listening to
sonnets read aloud and the comforting clicking of a keyboard.
Although Teddy understands words, Sylvan always told him there are
only two kinds of people in the world who can hear Teddy speak:
poets and children. Then one day Teddy learns that Sylvan was
right. When Teddy finds Nickel and Flora trapped in a snowstorm, he
tells them that he will bring them home-and they understand him.
The children are afraid of the howling wind, but not of Teddy's
words. They follow him to a cabin in the woods, where the dog used
to live with Sylvan ...only now his owner is gone. As they hole up
in the cabin for shelter, Teddy is flooded with memories of Sylvan.
What will Teddy do when his new friends go home? Can they help one
another find what they have lost?
