I have been excitedly waiting for this week to arrive. The week when I would finally get my hands on the masterpiece of an old friend.
A story of a small traveller and his adventures through Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam.
The illustrations are her own and each is carefully taken from her own photographs of her real life adventure.
Each page is rich and full of detail. Quentin loved learning the names of the different places and his questions led to us pulling out one of his maps and exploring further.
Amberlea and I grew up in the same small town. We’ve each travelled the world on our own adventures. We now live in two similar cities but on the opposite sides of this big country, raising our own babies. This book invokes both a sense of adventure but also (especially for me) that overwhelming feeling of gladness upon returning home.
Her book and other beautiful works, can be found here.
