Description:

Annie's days have grown brighter since a wriggly new puppy called Bess bounded into her life — and the feeling is wonderfully mutual. But puppies don't come with words, and Annie soon discovers that figuring out what her little friend needs is its own kind of language. When Bess nudges her bowl, paws at the door, or fetches a favourite toy, Annie listens carefully and, with a few gentle hints from Mum, starts to understand exactly what each signal means. Then comes the morning Annie has to leave for school, and suddenly Bess is the one trying to ask the biggest question of all: when will my friend come back? Kim Lewis, beloved creator of Floss, brings her trademark soft pastel illustrations and warm farmhouse charm to a tender story about patience, attention, and the quiet bond growing between a child and her dog.
