"You
can never cross the ocean until you have the courage to lose sight of the
shore."
When Sandra
decided to run away to sea to explore what's behind the horizon, she wasn't
expecting to sail past blue whales, chase a hurricane, slide down waves the
size of a house, live inside a leaking cabin, or shower from a bucket.
The Round
the World Wanderer is a tale about finding the courage to chase your dreams,
wherever they take you - inspired by the true story of the author as Round the
Worlder on the Unicef boat in the Clipper 2019-20 Round the World Yacht Race.
Come on
board an ocean racing yacht and experience sailing around the world, browsing
through 32 pages of full-colour traditional illustrations, hand painted with
watercolour pencils, gouache and Indian black ink on a 300g/m2 watercolour
paper by Fanny Ozda.
"This
book is a wonderful way to encourage the spirit of adventure in our young
people."
- Sir Robin
Knox-Johnston, First person to ever sail solo, non-stop around the world and
win the 1969 Golden Globe Race.
This picture book is perfect for 3 to 5-year-old explorers, girls and boys.
Review: This is a cute and colorful itinerary of a kid’s travels around the world on her family’s yacht. Some days the waters were calm and other days they were rocky. The illustrations were cute and simple. They were rendered in this child-like quality and wonder. They reflect what life is truly like on a boat.
From the South China Sea to the
Great Barrier Reef, this story takes you all over the world to create a fun and
exciting adventurer.
A great, little read for any world
wanderer.
Rating: 4 stars
