LETTERS TO A DOG out from @barringtonstoke.bsky.social this May.

I am so - wags tail, jumps - to announce some pawsome news! When I was little I sometimes wrote cards to my pets but they never replied. 🤔 But what if they did? I am so delighted to reveal my first book with wonderful Barrington Stoke :
LETTERS TO A DOG 🐶
