"'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 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 reflection on love and loss, grief and growth.

Reviews
"James Norbury's illustrated 'adult fable' fell into my hands a few weeks ago and I've been under its spell ever since. His books are . . . meant to accompany readers on their own hard journeys. '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
"Truths, gratitude, loss, hope, faith, and unconditional love are all here. Grab the tissues, find a quiet place, settle in, breathe, read, and listen to this extraordinary gift." -- Booklist (starred review)
"A beautifully illustrated book . . . A lovely, moving story about death, loss, loneliness, and recovery. Stories like these help us recognize that while we may feel alone on our journey, we also have friends to help us navigate scary territory." -- Psychology Today
