After 15 years, Douglas Kaine McKelvey’s lyrical frontier fantasy, The Angel Knew Papa and the Dog, is back in print in a beautiful new paperback edition with brand new cover art painted by Zach Franzen. Rabbit Room Press is pleased to make this well-loved title available again.
“This book is a small masterpiece.” —Cynthia Rylant, Newberry Medal Winner
“Douglas Kaine McKelvey has found poetry in this hardscrabble saga... The hint of mysticism only sharpens the real rigors of this story about a father’s love and a child’s belief.”
—Richard Peck, Newberry Medal Winner
“This short, sweet tale of faith reads like a song… McKelvey's words are rich and eloquent; this book would be a great read-aloud after supper while the whole family is gathered together.”
