A
young boy and his giraffe set out in a boat to travel the seas. As they ride
the waves together they experience the thrill of adventure on the open water
finding both courage and joy. When the winds quiet and the rain stops, they
make their way back to the comfort of home.
Simple,
yet effective, verse tells the story of a boy and his giraffe. The adventure
they embark on will excite young readers as they will experience the diverse
creatures and changing moods of the sea. The gorgeous jewel tone illustrations
perfectly compliment the story giving an overall surrealist feel.
