Le chien de Martin, by Nadine Brun-Cosme and illustrated by Odile Santi

A pair of eight-year-old boys are next-door neighbours and best friends; they spend all their waking hours together. But when Martin adopts a dog, the dynamics of their relationship change, and they must deal with a range of new and unfamiliar feelings—jealousy, anger, and loneliness— before finally coming to understand that, rather than driving a wedge between them, their new friend might actually help them strengthen their bond.

An unbreakable bond between child and dog. Nuanced illustrations bring this tender narrative to life.
