About this item
.If I were a dog . . . I'd be silly or patient, or happy or shy. Sometimes I'd be grumpy.Sometimes I'd be playful. Just like me.In a celebration of both what it means to be a dog and what it means to be human, If I Were a Dog shows us how much we all have in common--with each other, and with our animal friends.
About the Author
I am lucky to have spent my life both listening to the voices of other as a children's book editor and developing my eye as an artist to appreciate more deeply the world around me. It's those years of listening, reflecting, responding, practicing, looking and making books and art that have brought me to this moment where I finally feel I can hear my own voice and have something to say, sometimes in words and sometimes in words and pictures. SORRY (REALLY SORRY) , illustrated by Harry Bliss, was published in the spring 2020, and IF I WERE A DOG, written and illustrated by me, will be available in the spring of 2021. In my decades long career as a book editor, including as the publisher of the award-winning imprint, Joanna Cotler Books/HarperCollins Children's Books, I published more than 50 national bestsellers which received innumerable awards and accolades.
