From the award-winning author of The Every and the illustrator behind the beloved picture book Her Right Foot comes an endearing and beautifully illustrated story of a dog who unwittingly becomes a hero to a park full of animals.. Johannes, a free dog, lives in an urban park by the sea. His job is to be the Eyes - to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park's elders, three ancient Bison. His friends - a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican - work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure the Equilibrium is in balance. . But changes are afoot. More humans, including Trouble Travelers, arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up.
