For busy dogs a busy day
Of busy work and busy play...


It’s a dog’s life in the big city but there's someone who doesn’t quite fit in. It’s lonely being the odd dog out, so she packs her case and travels around the world to try to find her place in it. Maybe it’ll take a different kind of journey for her to discover that the place she’s meant to be is right back where she started. A funny, heart-warming and poignant story about the power of being yourself and blazing your own trail. Winner of the BSC Festival of Literature Picture Book Award 2017 and the UKLA Student Shadowers’ Vote Book Award 2018. Shortlisted for Oscar's Book Prize, the Independent Booksellers Book Award, the UKLA Book Award, the Sheffield Children's Book Prize, the North Somerset Teacher's Book Award, BASH and the ABCD Cover of the Year. In June 2017 it was featured as a Bedtime Story on CBeebies and was read by Tom Hardy.
