After a cataclysmic radiation event, all animals undergo a startling transformation: they grow to a massive scale and gain the power of speech. For pet-loving humans, this change is deeply personal: their beloved dogs and cats are now giants who can talk.
Humans split into two groups: those who want to protect the now-giant animals, and those who want to eliminate them. Social upheaval ensues. While some heart-stricken humans fight to protect their animals, a government-sanctioned army begins a campaign of extermination.
Created by renowned independent artist and publisher AAA-Bao, this companion to Between Islands and Goodbye, Big Cats follows the dogs’ perilous journey to find new homes and rebuild their lives. Told in part from the nonhuman animals' perspectives, this lushly illustrated story explores the fragile bond between humans and non-human animals and the process of rebuilding an identity due to persecution and forced emigration.
