Friend

“This dog is the perfect vehicle for talking about emotions, with everything written all over its eager doggy face, and the structure of single words and big simple illustrations gives readers space to add, change and talk.” Rachel Lawson, Publisher

A warm and simple board book that shares how to talk about feelings through a friendship between a child and their dog.Through the up-close expressive faces of a child and their dog, we learn the words for a range of feelings. This is my dog. She is silly! She is happy. Sometimes she is sad. She's my best friend. This simple board book is a starting point to talk about how we feel. Key words describe the many emotions a dog can go through in a short time, while the expressions on the faces of the people nearby convey a whole new raft of feelings as they respond and react. And so the story becomes one of friendship and how our friends make us feel. This new board book is a multi-layered delight joining Pops in Gavin Bishop's powerful series to share with the smallest children.
