Over the Ocean
Taro Gomi
Renowned children’s book creator Taro Gomi has created another masterpiece.
In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so different from the girl herself, returning her gaze.
In this celebration of imagination’s power, young readers will find joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the just-beyond.
Review
Alexa Dretzke
A child’s imagination is an unencumbered expanse and can entertain possibilities and wonder that as adults we have mostly disengaged from; when was the last time you really mused on what is ‘over the ocean’?
In this sweet picture book a child stands at the water’s edge pondering what could be outside of her eyes’ view. Taro Gomi conjures up different scenarios with lovely blocks of colour and assured brushstrokes which will certainly fire up a child’s wondering and initiate questions that can lead anywhere, which is just what you want children to be able to do.
For ages 2 and up.
