Rosie is a race dog. By day she runs at the track, by night she sits in her little cage. One day she doesn’t stop at the end of the track. She jumps over the fence and runs away. Rosie keeps running. Where does Rosie end up?

Marika Maijala’s wildly expressive images and polished-to-perfection text talk sensitively about finding freedom. The book is her debut as an author.
