Winky Goes to the Park is the original picture book creation of author-illustrator A. M. Mothgrave. It tells the story of a three-legged, winky-eyed, scruffy stray dog named Winky!
Winky is so excited to go to the park. He runs through the grass, sniffing out snacks and playing fetch with his favorite kid, all while keeping watch for the mean old snitches who threaten to send him to the pound.
It is not easy being a three-legged stray. But Winky never lets anything get in the way of an adventure!
Illustrated in a vintage digital paper-cut style overlaid with playful hand drawn characters, Winky Goes to the Park explores the park from the perspective of one of life's most overlooked creatures.
With charm and depth that appeals to both kids and grownups alike, Winky proves you don't need four legs to have fun!
