From Suzanne Del Rizzo, award-winning illustrator of My Beautiful
Birds, and author Deborah Kerbel comes a unique story about a brave
sled dog puppy's adventures under the Arctic Circle's midnight sun.
Juno and her boy live in a red house at the top of the world. One day
Juno will be big and strong enough to help pull a sled across the
tundra, but for now she is just a small puppy with a big-dog heart.
Small puppies have to go to bed when their boys do, but Juno can't sleep
with the midnight sun shining out across the town. She slips outside to
play. Returning to see a hungry polar bear sniffing around the open
door, Juno has no time to be afraid. It's time to summon the big dog
inside her and save her beloved boy.
With Deborah Kerbel's warm, expressive text, Sun Dog is a love
letter to life in the Arctic Circle from the perspective of a sled dog
pup. Suzanne Del Rizzo's dimensional art in polymer clay and acrylic
wash offers both an intimate romp with a young puppy and a sweeping
celebration of the vast and beautiful tundra.
