Over the Ocean

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.
