Sail away on a whimsical and heartfelt adventure of unexpected friendship from Loren Long, the #1 New York Times-bestselling creator of The Yellow Bus -- featuring a stunning gatefold reveal!
Long ago, there was a small seaside village. Just offshore, there was an island.
Wary of the island, the villagers trade stories warning of its dangers. But something about the island calls to the new boy in town . . .
One day, the boy rows his little boat to the island and finds no danger--just the whirling wind and the steady lapping of the ocean's waves. The island seems peaceful to the boy. But also lonely, like him. So he visits again and again. And he soon discovers that he and the island are even more the same than he could have ever imagined.
The modern-day classic storytelling of Chris Van Allsburg meets Where the Wild Things Are in this beautifully- illustrated, imaginative new picture book from beloved creator Loren Long.
Commentaires
★ "This is a master class in visual storytelling...Beautiful, contemplative, and enigmatic." —Kirkus starred review
"A solitary child and a misunderstood landmass find each other in this empathic story of ache and affirmation...Sculptural, lushly brushed watercolors give the isle the density of real flora and fauna, and an emotional presence to match the boy’s...Painting loneliness as an experience that becomes more bearable when it’s shared with someone who cares, this takes a restrained, patient look at a common feeling." —Publishers Weekly
