Boney
Annabelle discovers an animal bone in the woods and decides to make it her new plaything. But nature ends up moving Annabelle in mysterious ways.
At first, Boney, as Annabelle names him, makes the perfect companion. While Mom is busy with the baby, Boney and Annabelle share a meal, play at the park, and share a bedtime story before Annabelle tucks Boney into his shoebox-bed for the night.
But when creatures run wild through her dreams, Annabelle considers for the first time where Boney really belongs.
This thought-provoking story by award-winning picture-book creators Cary Fagan and Dasha Tolstikova encourages a deeper sense of wonder about the natural world and celebrates the wilderness that lives within us all.

Praise for this book
A poetic volume that raises keen questions about ephemerality, connection, and regard across the natural world. STARRED REVIEW
-- "Publishers Weekly"A Where the Wild Things Are vibe may lead [readers] to think about the proper uses of nature.
-- "Booklist"A slightly quirky picture book for early readers.
-- "Winnipeg Free Press"Fagan's storytelling is simple but deeply felt ... Tolstikova's childlike mixed-media illustrations convey the emotional depth of the seemingly small experience.
-- "Horn Book"Cary Fagan's story provokes a lot of thought on emotions and on the idea of death ... It encourages an open discussion about expressing emotions and respect to wildlife.
