The Dog Who Dared to Dream
Translated by Chi-Young Kim
About
Scraggly is born an outsider — a dog whose distinctive appearance sets her apart from the pack. She spends her early days in a sun-filled yard, watching the world with a curiosity that her circumstances never quite satisfy. Through Scraggly's eyes, Hwang tells a story about belonging, loyalty, and the quiet courage it takes to keep hoping when hope seems unreasonable. From the author of The Hen Who Dreamed She Could Fly, this is another animal fable that works on two levels — a children's story about a dog, and a meditation on what it means to be different in a world that rewards conformity. The prose is simple, direct, and emotionally precise. A small book with a large heart — about a dog who proves that dreaming is its own kind of bravery.
