Book Description

The creators of the bestselling picture book The Christmas Wish bring us another original board book featuring the adorable husky puppy from The Brave Little Puppy. Here is the newest Nordic adventure by the creators of the New York Times bestseller The Christmas Wish—this one as a board book for the littlest listeners. The star of The Christmas Wish, Anja, has an adorable husky puppy named Birki. Birki wishes he were good at something . . . anything! After all, sheep give Anja wool for her clothes, goats and cows give her milk, and the reindeer pull her family’s sleigh. But what can Birki do? He has the most important job of all—he’s Anja’s best friend! Husband-and-wife duo Lori Evert and Per Breiehagen give us another breathtaking photographic adventure set in Per’s homeland, Norway. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly said of The Christmas Wish, “Rosy-cheeked Anja looks like she’s stepped out of a fairy tale, and Breiehagen’s delicious photographs create the sense that magic is very real.” Praise for The Christmas Wish: “Dreams have never been so photogenic.” —The Children’s Book Review
