About IF WE WERE DOGS:

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.
