Whaleheart The Heart Of It Anthology 1 [Paperback]

By the light of the moon, the storyteller stands in the river and gathers what the storyfish bring her, but the wind promises something more. The river's flow carries her gently into the unknown as she finds herself traveling far out to sea in search of a great ship with an unlikely guide by her side. The great ship holds the key: there are others out there spinning their tales into the night! Whaleheart guides us out on the nightsea and brings us home again, reminding us that a story is a sail with a wind built into it and nothing is beyond our reach. Through a re-visioning of the anthology format, award-winning children's book artist and author Maya Christina Gonzalez conjures a night journey within which to showcase 23 new and emerging diverse children's book ArtistAuthors from around the world. Some share windows into future picture books, some poems, while others share memories and short stories. All are inspiration for kids to tell their story, share their art and know that all stories are important, because all stories are connected.
