My parents recently visited Alaska. My mom asked me to request this picture book for her to read.
Susan, a musher, loves her sled dogs. People say she will never win the Iditarod because she babies them. When Granite was born, his knock-knees and timid nature seem like hinderances to becoming a sled dog. Over time he develops into a strong lead sled dog, winning the Iditarod three times. This book relates the trials he and Susan to endure to accomplish this feat.
Sadly in 2006 Susan died of leukemia.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
