Billie and Bean in the City

Julia Hansson

Billie’s mom is in the laundry room. Billie is bored, the clock is ticking, and her dog Frank is impatient. Billie did once go out with Frank by herself, so surely, she must be allowed do it again?
Frank is very happy and runs past a café where there is a girl of Billie’s age. The girl’s mother asks what the dog’s name is, and Billie feels proud. Frank pulls all the way to the park. Billie tries to hold on to the leash. They really must return home, but not before Frank had a chance to poo. The park is wonderful, and Billie wants to pick a flower for mom. But all at a sudden the park feels scary, and Billie realizes that they are lost in the big city, with its many cars and tall buildings. How will they find their way home again? Tenderly portrayed characters explore what it is like to dare or not dare.
