Winnie-the-Pooh meets Charlotte's Web
in this charming, emotionally touching children's fable from award-winning
author Jeremy Strong, highly illustrated in black and
white by Heegyum Kim, now in paperback.
An extraordinary house on wheels is being towed along a forest
track by doleful Moose. On board the house are philosophical Fox;
distinguished Bear; theatrical Toucan, with his magnetic beak that
always points north; argumentative Little Owl, and loving, excitable
Young Llama.
With nothing but her little blue suitcase, Fox has left home to
join the animals' expedition to the Snowlands to see the Northern
Lights. They encounter many ups and downs on their travels - and
their journey's end will require the most courage of all...
By turns funny and thoughtful, this is a brave, touching and timeless
children's fable about friendship, art and the journey of
a lifetime.
This stunning book with its iconic animal characters has all
the hallmarks of a future classic, with notes of The Jungle Book
and Charlotte's Web, ideal for fans of Sara Pennypacker's
Pax and Iona Rangeley's Einstein the Penguin.
With beautiful art and a courageous, touching message, this is
perfect winter's tale for readers young and old, from age 7+.
Themes of life and loss are handled with a lightness of touch,
gentle humour and heart-warming hope and empathy.
