Race day

Kindergartners and first-graders lined up to race Gobi, of the New York Times Bestselling book “Finding Gobi,” last Friday at Cibolo Creek Elementary School. The author of the best-selling children’s book, Dion Leonard, left, met his four-legged pal while on a 155-mile race through the Gobi Desert in China. Leonard, along with his wife, read the book to the students in the cafeteria before making their way outside for the race. Star photos by Zachary-Taylor Wright
