In Tor & Raven Are Friends, Tor, a King shepherd, finds a Petoskey stone on the beach at Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. He hopes that the rare stone will bring him a friend. Meanwhile in Glacier Bay National Park, Alaska, Raven, too, finds a remarkable stone, a heart-shaped rock, right in the middle of the print of a bear paw. That night a great West Wind arises and blows Raven all the wayacross the country. She lands on Tor’s chimney and falls inside his cabin. Tor and Raven don’t know what to make of each other. But Raven can’t help but be curious about the big white dog. Tor is kind and loving to Raven in spite of his initial reluctance. The two unlikely friends bond during a summer full of outings, including a visit to Fishtown, hiking, and building a sand castle. But Raven gets homesick for Alaska and together the friends figure out a way back. Before Raven soars away, the two friends exchange their special stones and Raven promises to return the next summer. The unlikely real-life friendship of Raven and Tor is revealed in the afterword, which includes photos of the raven and shepherd dog playing together along with pictures of the unique stones that inspired this story.
