If We Were Dogs

NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

Two-time Caldecott Medalist Sophie Blackall's follow-up to her bestselling If I Was a Horse explores the challenges of first friendships through imaginative play.

If we were dogs, what kind would we be?
I'd be a big dog! And you'd be little dog.
Woof!

Join two friends as they bark and growl, woof and howl - and maybe even quack - in a romp that makes room for everybody's ideas.

Sophie Blackall unleashes a marvelous game of pretend that explores navigating friendship and celebrates boundless imagination in this wonderful companion for her national bestseller If I Was a Horse.

Sophie Blackall is the bestselling and two-time Caldecott medal-winning artist behind Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear; Hello, Lighthouse; and Farmhouse. She is also the proprietor of Milkwood, a creative retreat for children's book makers. She divides her time between Brooklyn and a farm in upstate New York.
