Off & Away by Cale Atkinson. PICTURE BOOK. Disney Hyperion, 2018. $17.
Pre-K, EL (K-3) – ESSENTIAL
Jo wants to deliver messages in bottles just like her adventuring dad, but her imaginings of dangers below the surface of the ocean make her freeze instead. Then Dad gets so sick that it will be days, if not weeks before he can deliver the backlog. Can Jo find the courage to take to the ocean?
I am in love with Jo, of course, and with Cale’s expertly crafted book – both words and illustrations. I can’t wait to see more from this author/illustrator!
