The Dog Who Followed the Moon by James Norbury

NATIONAL BESTSELLER!

"'Inspirational' is a word that's become cheapened, but it's a fitting word for The Dog Who Followed the Moon--an inspirational and gorgeous book about not giving up."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR

From the international bestselling author and illustrator of Big Panda and Tiny Dragon and The Cat Who Taught Zen comes a beautifully illustrated adult fable of a lost young puppy, the old wolf who rescues her, and their spiritual journey to follow the moon--with meditations on friendship, connection, and sacrifice.

Deep in the mountain forests, a young pup named Amaya wanders lost and alone, until an aging wolf rescues her from a terrifying encounter with his vicious pack. To try and reunite Amaya with her parents, the unlikely pair embark on a journey to follow the moon.

Eerie woods, forgotten cities, and other obstacles await Amaya and the Wolf on their adventure. As they make their way through the wilderness, the two learn profound lessons about love, sacrifice, and the importance of embracing change.

Featuring stunning artwork from bestselling author and illustrator James Norbury, The Dog Who Followed the Moon is a moving, poignant work of philosophical fiction, a reflection on love and loss, grief and growth.

This unforgettable animal fable explores profound truths:

  • An Unlikely Friendship: A lost puppy, Amaya, finds an unexpected protector in an old wolf, and together they discover that connection can be found in the wildest of places.
  • A Journey of Finding Your Way: When the path is unclear, the pair must learn to follow the moon, embracing every twist and turn as part of the way home.
  • Meditations on Love and Loss: Through shared trials and quiet moments, their adventure becomes a poignant reflection on what it means to love, to let go, and to grow.
  • Stunning Illustrated Storytelling: James Norbury's beautiful, evocative artwork brings the emotional landscape of this moving fable to life on every page.
