Book excerpt: Truman is an American bulldog. He's two years old, and he lives in a shelter. They're very kind to him, and they keep him fed and clean, but no one has time to play with him or love him. Then one day a family comes to the shelter, and they decide to take Truman home with them! There, he meets Moon Shadow, a beautiful snow-white Siberian husky who loves her family and is friends with many different animals. Truman is very shy and doesn't trust animals or people just yet. But with Moon Shadow's help and his new family's love and patience, Truman slowly learns how to play, how to have fun, and how to be friends with others. In this children's tale, based on a true story, two dogs get to know each other and show how trust and respect grows when kindness is shown through patience.

Truman, whose presidency included momentous events from the atomic bombing of Japan to the outbreak of the Cold War and the Korean War, told by America’s beloved and distinguished historian. The life of Harry S. Truman is one of the greatest of American stories, filled with vivid characters—Roosevelt, Churchill, Stalin, Eleanor Roosevelt, Bess Wallace Truman, George Marshall, Joe McCarthy, and Dean Acheson—and dramatic events. In this riveting biography, acclaimed historian David McCullough not only captures the man—a more complex, informed, and determined man than ever before imagined—but also the turbulent times in which he rose, boldly, to meet unprecedented challenges. The last president to serve as a living link between the nineteenth and the twentieth centuries, Truman’s story spans the raw world of the Missouri frontier, World War I, the powerful Pendergast machine of Kansas City, the legendary Whistle-Stop Campaign of 1948, and the decisions to drop the atomic bomb, confront Stalin at Potsdam, send troops to Korea, and fire General MacArthur. Drawing on newly discovered archival material and extensive interviews with Truman’s own family, friends, and Washington colleagues, McCullough tells the deeply moving story of the seemingly ordinary “man from Missouri” who was perhaps the most courageous president in our history.
