Such a Good Boy
by Marianna Coppo
Meet Buzz the dog. He's such a good boy. Buzz seems to have a perfect life… and a lot of very well-behaved friends. Buzz would never dream of being anything other than good.
Right, Buzz?
Buzz… ?
For anyone who has ever felt pressure to be "good" at the expense of their own self-expression, and for anyone who has ever owned and loved a dog, this beautifully illustrated picture book from author-illustrator Marianna Coppo will have you laughing, smiling, and longing for your own unfettered frolic in the park.
“An unusual, thoughtful tale exploring the canine call of the wild.”
Kirkus Reviews
“Pairing a deadpan narrative with analogously wry, spare tempera and pastel art, […] Coppo brings her droll story to an open-ended finale.”
Publishers Weekly
"(...) a thoughtful, existential story that raises questions about what makes dogs happy. Kids will be delighted, inspired, and challenged."
