Description

Buzz is a very lucky dog. He lives in a fancy house inside an even fancier one. His appearance is maintained with the utmost care, and his elevated pedigree is a point of pride. Some might say that Buzz has it all . . . but what does it mean to 'have it all,' exactly And is it enough to have everything you could want except the freedom to be yourself

For anyone who has ever felt pressure to be 'good' at theexpense of their own self-expression, and for anyone who has ever owned and loved a dog, this beautifully illustrated picture book from author-illustrator Marianna Coppo will have you laughing, smiling, and longing for your own frolic in the park.
