If We Were Dogs

Available October 2025 – pre-order now!

Two-time Caldecott Medallist Sophie Blackall's follow-up to her bestselling If I Was a Horse explores the challenges of first friendships through imaginative play.

If we were dogs, what kind would we be?
I'd be a big dog! And you'd be a little dog.
Woof!

Join two friends as they bark and growl, woof and howl – and maybe even quack – in a romp that makes room for everybody's ideas.

Sophie Blackall unleashes an exuberant game of pretend that explores navigating friendship and celebrates boundless imagination.
