"Thank you very much for your new book, A Gift to Share. I read your book. It is the first children's book that brought tears to my eyes since I was 5 years old. Well done. This book is a gem for children and adults." - John G. McDonald, Stanford University Professor "In A Gift to Share, Barry Schieber gracefully brings the story of his dog Moritz into the world of children, letting them experience the power of a dog's love in a way that is captivating and inspiring. The beautiful illustrations complement this transparent tale of love and dedication, giving children an understanding of the possibilities present when therapy dogs are brought in to the process of healing.
