Shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Award 2009. Wonderfully detailed yet simple illustrations coupled with minimal text make this an absolutely fantastic picture book to enjoy with even the youngest toddler. Later this year, this title will be joined by an equally fun title from Thomas Docherty called To the Beach.
What the Kate Greenaway Award judges said:
'Docherty perfectly captures the emotions of a little traveller, with a great sense of movement and perspective, and a limited but highly effective colour palette. You really get the feel of the huge ocean in all its moods.'
Thomas Docherty is an award-winning author and illustrator and has been shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal. When he’s not illustrating, Thomas loves helping children and young adults tell their own stories using words and pictures. He lives in Swansea, Wales with his wife, author Helen Docherty, and their two daughters.
