One morning, the Hope family wake, terrified, to find the Black Dog outside their home. Only Small, the youngest of the Hope family, has the courage to go into forest and face the Black Dog. Will the Black Dog chase her and eat her up? Or is it actually much smaller and less scary than it seems?

A poignant and sensitive story, Levi Pinfold's intricate illustrations create the perfect springboard for discussing children's fears, no matter how big or small.
