Publisher's Synopsis
See below for English description.
Un jour, un chien noir vint rôder autour de la maison de la famille Lespérance. Le père fut le premier à l'apercevoir...Si la peur fait parfois grossir les choses, le courage, lui, les fait parfois rapetisser. Et ce ne sont pas toujours les grands qui sont courageux!
Have you ever heard the legend of the Black Dog? Some believe one glimpse of this fearful creature will set the most terrible events in motion . . . So when it visits the Lespérance family home, who could blame them for being a bit alarmed?
This is a story about being scared. It is also a story about not being scared. It depends on how you see things.
A black dog appears outside the Hope family's home. As each member of the household sees it and hides, the dog grows bigger and bigger. Only Mini, the youngest Lespérance, has the courage to face the Black Dog. When it chases her through the forest she shows no fear, so it grows smaller and smaller. Finally, back to the size of a normal hound, the Black Dog is welcomed into the Lespérance household as their newest addition.
