The moving, beautifully illustrated story of a little lost dog and his search for a place to call home.

Poor Perdu is all alone as he journeys from the countryside to the city in search of a home. The city is a big place when you are very small, but is it possible that someone is looking out for Perdu?

Perdu is the first picture book to be both written and illustrated by Richard Jones — the illustrator of the internationally bestselling The Snow Lion. This poignant gem, with an important message about kindness at its heart, deserves to become a modern classic.

About the Author

Richard Jones has been living and working in Devon, England, for more than twenty years.

Richard has written and illustrated many picture books, including Wondering Around by Meg Fleming, The Snow Lion by Jim Helmore, Quiet by Tom Percival, and You and I Are Stars and Night by Kate Hosford.
