Mein Freund Pax – Die Heimkehr

The boy Peter and the fox Pax: They were once inseparable, but today they live far apart. Yet the memory of each other won't let them go. And so they set off: on a journey through the wilderness that brings their paths together once more and brings them closer to themselves.

A novel about friendship and love and the essential ability to forgive even after great hurt.

With black-and-white illustrations by Jon Klassen.
