NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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—to see everything that happens
within the park and report back to the park’s elders three ancient Bison. His friends—a
seagull a raccoon a squirrel and a pelican—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—an actual boatload of goats—who appear along with a shocking revelation that changes
Johannes’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.
