An Outstanding International Trade Book (United States Board of Books for Young People)
A dog, feared and mistreated by everyone, is rescued and cared for by a man who needs and appreciates him
Pointed ears, sharp teeth, and a back slightly bent under dark fur: a lonely dog gets mistaken for a wolf. No one came close—no one dared—so the sad dog howled. Until one day, someone reached out a hand to him.
Originally from France, Géraldine Elschner studied Germanic and Romance languages. She has since translated scores of books from German to French and French to German, as well as writing some of her own stories. She draws inspiration from her three children as well as the beautiful town of Heidelberg where she lives. She is the author of many picture books including The Cat and the Bird, Funny Machines for George the Sheep, and Where is the Frog? Originally from France, she studied Germanic and Romance languages, and has translated scores of books, including The Nativity, published by minedition.
