Elki Is Not My Dog
Elki does not have a home—she is a stray dog who finds kindness in the company of a little group of children.
They play together during the day, but Elki must stay alone outside every night because dogs are not allowed in their block of flats. One day Elki disappears and is later found injured. Who will look after her and how?
Elena Arevalo Melville wrote this story for her fellow artist and friend Tonka Uzu, whose childhood memory this is.

Reviews
Wall Street Journal
“Surely the next best thing to having a dog of your own is having a lovable stray as your playmate. . . . While Elki’s own story remains a mystery, detailed illustrations by Tonka Uzu give us a peek into the world of her human companions. There’s a pleasing Busytown-like quality to the drawings . . . . Elki may not have a home, but she has found her family.”—The Wall Street Journal
