From the award-winning author of The Every and the illustrator behind the beloved picture book Her Right Foot comes an endearing and beautifully illustrated story of a dog who unwittingly becomes a hero to a park full of animals. Johannes, a free dog, lives in an urban park by the sea. His job is to be the Eyes&mdash,to see everything that happens within the park and report back to the park&rsquo,s elders, three ancient Bison. His friends&mdash,a seagull, a raccoon, a squirrel, and a pelican&mdash,work with him as the Assistant Eyes, observing the humans and other animals who share the park and making sure the Equilibrium is in balance. , But changes are afoot. More humans, including Trouble Travelers, arrive in the park. A new building, containing mysterious and hypnotic rectangles, goes up. And then there are the goats&mdash,an actual boatload of goats&mdash,who appear, along with a shocking revelation that changes Johannes&rsquo,s view of the world. A story about friendship, beauty, liberation, and running very, very fast, The Eyes & the Impossible will make readers of all ages see the world around them in a wholly new way.
