Levi Pinfold won the UK's Best Rising Illustrator Award and the Booktrust Children's Book Award for his first work, Django, in 2010.
Even the British master painter Michael Foreman praised his work Django, calling it "a superb illustration that shows a high level of skill."
His work, 『Black Dog』, which he presented with delicate illustrations and artistry, has been nominated for the 2013 Kate Greenaway Medal, which is scheduled to be announced in June of this year, and is providing an opportunity for him to establish himself as the best British illustrator in name and reality.
The New York Times also recommended reading the picture book "Black Dog," praising it, saying, "It has exquisite illustrations and an engaging story that both children and adults can enjoy."
With readers' attention focused on the new prince appearing in the picture book market, 『Black Dog』 has finally been published by Bookstory.


One day, a large 'black dog' appeared at Uncle Hope's house.
The more afraid this dog is, the bigger it gets.
Soon, the black dog grew to be as tall as a house, taller than a person.
"Black Dog" is the fifth book in Bookstory's [Our House Reading Books] series, which tells the story of fear and courage with this black dog as the main character.


『Black Dog』, which fully captures the delicate and beautiful world of Levi Pinfold's work, enough to be considered the second Anthony Browne, is not only a work where you can fully experience the emotion of the delicate yet warm illustrations, but it is also meaningful in that it is the first time that Levi Pinfold's work, which has not yet been introduced in Korea, is being introduced.
As you meet the unique family of Mr. Hope and the black dog through the mysterious and interesting picture book 『Black Dog』, your fears will soon disappear and you will be left with a strong courage in your heart.


An intriguing story about a little boy who faces a terrifying, large black dog.

There are many things that scare you when you're young.
As we grow up, we face many fears and learn how to face them, and as we grow up, the things we fear lessen one by one.
Of course, there are still things that adults are afraid of.
It's a different level of fear than what I was afraid of when I was little.
The strange thing is that adults are no longer afraid of the things they were afraid of as children.
Levi Pinfold was driving one day when he saw a black dog outside his car window, and the legend of the black dog came to mind.
Some people were so terrified of black dogs that they believed that even a glance at them could lead to terrible things.
He began to conceive of an interesting story about the Hope family through the black dog.


One quiet morning, a black dog appeared in front of Mr. Hope's house.
The first person to wake up and discover the black dog was Mr. Hope.
Mr. Hope, startled by the black dog as big as a tiger, hurriedly reports it to the police.
The next person to stand up was Mrs. Hope.
Mrs. Hope, who was startled by the sight of the elephant-sized black dog, turned off all the lights in the house so that the black dog could not see.
Next, Adeline wakes up in the bathroom, brushing her teeth, and discovers a black dog the size of a Tyrannosaurus. She screams in surprise and closes the curtains.
Morris, who woke up soon after, was startled by the black dog as big as Big Zephyr and ended up covering himself tightly with the blanket.


As the whole family is huddled together in one blanket, shivering, the youngest, 'Kkomaengi', finally realizes that something fishy is going on, shouts at his family, "You cowards!" and storms out the front door.
Although his family tried to stop him, saying it was dangerous, he pushed them away and went outside, only to come face to face with a black dog that was much bigger than him...


In Levi Pinfold's "Black Dog," children face their own fears by recalling their own fears one by one as they watch the whole family tremble in fear of the black dog.
And as you watch the bravery of the smallest yet most heroic member of the family, you'll soon be able to close the book and say, "There's nothing to be afraid of!"

"Black Dog," a picture book that will inspire children to read picture books with joy while allowing them to fully enjoy Levi Pinfold's beautiful and engaging illustrations, will help them to instill courage in their hearts.
