Beschreibung

In "Dorothy on a House Boat," Evelyn Raymond crafts an enchanting tale that weaves together adventure, friendship, and the joys of youth through the lively narrative of young Dorothy. Set against the picturesque backdrop of a houseboat journey along shimmering waters, the novel employs a conversational and whimsical literary style that mirrors the spontaneity of childhood exploration. Raymond'Äôs work belongs to a celebrated tradition of children'Äôs literature, bridging the gap between innocence and the enchanting discoveries that accompany it, reminiscent of early 20th-century American fiction that emphasized outdoor adventures and the importance of nature. Evelyn Raymond, an accomplished author and poet, drew from her own experiences near rivers and lakes, deeply influencing her portrayal of the joys of aquatic adventure. Having written extensively for children, her passion for storytelling and connecting with younger audiences shines through in her vivid characters and engaging plots. Raymond'Äôs keen understanding of the child psyche, paired with her literary background, provided the foundation for crafting a narrative that resonates with both the imagination and the spirit of adventure. "Dorothy on a House Boat" is highly recommended for children and adults alike, as it not only celebrates the exuberance of youthful exploration but also offers profound insights into friendship and self-discovery. Readers will find themselves not only entertained but also reflective of their own formative experiences, making this delightful journey an essential addition to any literary collection.

    We Are A Circus is the charming, autobiographical tale of a rainbow family, riding around Thessaloniki on a bike. They are poor and living precariously, but they are happy together and have fun in the sun and in the rain (though sometimes they get a bit cold).
    As the book progresses, we follow them through the seasons, playing and cycling and fending off the weather. When their landlord turfs them out of their house, things get more serious as they have to find a new home, fast.
    Nasta has created an exuberant, compassionate story, which is beautifully complemented by Rosie Fencott's energetic artwork.
    **Longlisted for the 2024 Klaus Flugge Illustration Award **
