The heartwarming friendship between a girl and the dog next door tenderly evokes the power of stories to bring – and keep – us together.
Two houses stand side by side: one is home to a dog, the other to a young girl. Though a fence divides them, girl and dog build a sweet and sturdy friendship rooted in make-believe ... and are lonely no more. Paired with moving illustrations and based on a true story, this endearing tale from the author of I, Cosmo testifies to the transformative power of creativity and inter-species friendship.
A cosy, feel-good tale of friendship and belonging, beautifully illustrated and well written for a young audience. * Irish News, Children’s Book of the Week *
