Illustrated by Ron Brooks
A magnificent and arresting picture book that goes to the heart of human relationships.
This is the story of Dog and Magpie, who are friends and companions until Fox tempts Magpie away and then abandons her in the desert. It's a stark, uncompromising and deeply moving story, a fable that dramatises human strengths and weaknesses.
Shortlisted for the Children's Book Council Picture Book of the Year.
