This book really needs to words. This wordless story easily gets across the story with lovely artwork and a touching them.
It's a very heartwarming story that has some emotions. We meet a puppy who's all alone at a park and someone has noticed him and takes time to get to know the dog - gain trust.
Beautiful book. This is all about the good side of humanity. I love this.

This was absolutely adorable. I feel like a cheat for adding this book as a read book considering there isn't a single word in it, but I don't want to forget it.
The illustrations are absolutely beautiful and I couldn't stop smiling the whole time I looked through them. It does take only a couple of minutes to leaf through and ''read'' the story, but they were a couple of minutes of pure endearment. I'd love to show this book to my future kids.

Prepare for all heart-strings to be fully plucked. Stormy is a wordless picturebook which follows a young pup, distrustful of humans. Having set up residence from its previous life within a park, Stormy is spotted by a solitary woman who spends much of the book trying to earn the dog's trust. Over several pages, perfectly paced by Guojing through the use of full-page spreads and slight panels, we watch as their relationship gradually grows. Only when a violent storm falls does the tale reach its climax.
Dedicated to her own missing dog, Guojing clearly wrote this as a way of healing and she manages it beautifully. It might not have the subtle nuance of [b:Small in the City|43289978|Small in the City|Sydney Smith|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1551843976l/43289978._SY75_.jpg|67177859] but it doesn't matter. This is a book for everyone and that last page will warm the coldest heart.

If you do not have even a little "Awww" inside when the dog puts his chin on the mattress, you are not HUMAN.
