Description: "Larry and Friends is a captivating story about immigration and integration told in both English and Spanish language versions. The protagonist, Larry the Dog, is a juggler from Brooklyn and his friends are a diverse set of animals from all over the world. The story recounts why the characters end up relocating to New York City, how they became friends with Larry and how life has taught them a thing or two.

The tale is truly inspiring; through their life stories, the whimsical characters bring forth the brightest possibilities of the human spirit"--Amazon
