“The dog on the moon is a story about friendship told with a few, but accurate, words and with extraordinary illustrations” (Paco Abril in La Oreja Verde).

“A delicate and elegant picture book, with no shrillness, which is able to create a cossy poetic space” (Sergio Andricaín in Cuatrogatos, Children’s Literature Magazine).

Two friends live happily and merrily in the valley, until one day a stranger arrives and tell them about the sea. From then on, the two friends will live their lives with loads of nostalgia, yearning for that sea, where canoes are shining and barges are dancing. Although the way to there is not so long, they will have to overcome, above all, the Fear, that stands in the way.
