"A warm, carefully observed story about friendship and acceptance"
January 2025 Debut of the Month
Fluffy, an excitable little dog, loves going for walks with Mum and Lilly. He has fun chasing balls in the park though he’d really like to play with his friend Andy, which is never allowed.
When Fluffy gets lost though, it’s Andy and his owner who look after him, taking him home to the mattress in the subway where they sleep, and then back to Mum and Lilly. Next time they go to the park, Mum stops to chat to Andy’s owner while the two dogs play together.
Quietly and through Fluffy’s happy, unprejudiced eyes, the story takes a look at homelessness and the people we try not to see. Managing to combine warmth and humour with careful observation, it’s a book to encourage understanding and empathy. Emma Chinnery’s watercolour illustrations make the city and the characters glow with life.
A carefully-observed story that challenges us to re-evaluate perceptions of homelessness from debut author-illustrator Emma Chinnery.
