beautiful picture book, with dreamlike, almost monochrome illustrations
The evocative blue tinged charcoal drawings and the lyrical story adds to the wonder and mystery of the ocean. This is perfect for Mother's Day and those who enjoyed Blue Planet. Mesmerising.
Lyrical text is complemented by subtle charcoal drawings which evoke the motion of the waves and darkness of the deep sea journey in this striking new picture book.
This book should find a ready place at home or in school. Weaver's almost monochrome illustrations are full of fascinating detail too.
