Julia and the Shark

"Ich heiße Julia. Dies ist die Geschichte jenes Sommers, in dem ich beinahe meine Mum verlor und einen Hai fand, der älter als die Bäume war. Keine Sorge, das Ende verrate ich noch nicht ..." Eine Geschichte, so tief wie die See, so aufwühlend wie tosende Wellen und so tröstlich wie der Lichtstrahl eines Leuchtturms in dunkler Nacht. Eine bewegende Geschichte für Kinder und Erwachsene Dieses außergewöhnliche Kinderbuch mit All-Age-Charakter der preisgekrönten Autorin Kiran Millwood Hargrave erzählt einfühlsam von der psychischen Erkrankung einer Mutter aus der Sicht des Kindes. Verknüpft mit den Themen Tiere, Umwelt, Familie, Natur und Freundschaft wird der Mental-Health-Aspekt kindgerecht und warmherzig für Leser*innen ab 11 Jahren erzählt. Die atemberaubenden Illustrationen mit gelber Schmuckfarbe von Tom de Freston machen das Buch zu einem Highlight mit Klassikerpotenzial und zeigen, wie viele Geheimnisse der unendliche Himmel und die Tiefe des Ozeans bergen. Ein wahres Kunstwerk! Für Fans von Wunder und Rico, Oskar und die Tieferschatten. Dieser Titel ist bei Antolin gelistet.
