Ella And The Waves by Britta Teckentrup
Jan. 15th, 2023 09:35 pmThe Blurb On The Back:
Ella sits alone in her little boat, struggling to find the courage to set sail. But then a white bird breaks through the clouds, bringing with it light and the promise of hope.
A beautiful and timely story about turning fear into courage.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Britta Teckentrup’s self-illustrated picture book is a beautiful, lyrical story about finding your courage and conquering adversity. The illustrations are gorgeous and the message about persevering because there will always be someone to help you is a sensible one. Although the central metaphor may go over young readers heads, it does give them something to talk about with parents/care-givers, which adds a dimension to the book.
ELLA AND THE WAVES was released in the United Kingdom on 4th August 2022. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
