Description On the night before the first day of school, a pack of stray Dogs moves into Molly\'s head.
A debut picture book illustrator, Lis lives in Toronto, Ontario..
She loves creating art that reminds her of the warmth of a hug.
LIS XU is a Chinese-Canadian artist whose main tools are ballpoint pens, pencil crayons and watercolours.
She lives and writes in Thornhill, Ontario, with her husband, their two book-loving teens, and a rescue schnoodle named Freddie.
About the Author DEBORAH Kerbel is the author of ten books for young adult, middle grade, and primary readers.
Inspired by the Japanese folktale, "The Boy Who Drew Cats," this story celebrates the healing powers of art and imagination while touching on important issues of anxiety, mental health, and ways to cope with emotions.
Once she is found, safe and sound, people around Molly realize the protective power of her pack and how the Dogs help tame her troubled feelings.
As her anxiety peaks, Molly runs away.
But Molly can\'t erase the dogs, even if she wants to.
A special tutor urges her to concentrate.
Her teacher tells her to focus.
When Molly draws dogs, she feels better--but not everyone can see the value of her strange habit.
So Molly starts to draw them.
They scamper through her thoughts, yap at the door to her dreams, and scratch at her brain, begging to be let out.
They are friendly, but a bit wild.
