HEREBOY - Jim Tierney

Meet HEREBOY - the dog who just can't seem to bark.

While other dogs happily shout "Woof!" and "Ruff!", HEREBOY's voice creates the strangest sounds imaginable. One moment he roars like a lion, the next he clucks like a chicken, hoots like an owl, or buzzes like a bee!

Embarrassed and confused, HEREBOY decides he must leave home and travel the world to learn how to bark like a real dog.

His journey takes him across fields, farms, and forests where he meets a variety of amusing animals and unexpected friends. But each time he tries to speak, something new-and very funny-comes out instead.

Through courage, curiosity, and determination, HEREBOY learns about different creatures, different voices, and different ways of being.

And after a long adventure filled with surprises, he finally discovers a beautiful truth:

Sometimes the thing we think is our weakness is actually our strength.
