Description

Meet adventurous Ali, a nature-loving girl with a mystery to solve on an island that is much more than it seems. Because this small island holds a big secret. A magical secret in the shape of a Great Green Crocodile . . .

Ali lives with her Dad on a beautiful island with a busy fishing village. So busy in fact that, no matter how hard she tries, Ali can never persuade anyone to stop what they are doing and come exploring with her. That is until the morning everyone wakes to find ALL the fish have disappeared. Every. Last. One.

Who – or what – could have taken them?

The Great Green Island weaves mystery and adventure with the wonders of nature, reminding us all to stop and experience the world around us – and to do it together! Inspiring and imaginative, this is a tale that will make you see magic.

Shortlisted for multiple children's book awards, this is a stunning first picture book from Becky Colvin, winner of the Macmillan Prize for Illustration 2023.
About Becky Colvin
Becky Colvin studied illustration at The University of West England in Bristol and went on to win the prestigious Macmillan Prize for Illustration in 2023. The Great Green Island is her debut picture book. Becky loves telling stories, capturing both the quiet and the not-so-quiet moments in life – her main personality trait is drawing, so it won’t surprise you to know that that’s what she spends most of her time doing. She also knows a freaky amount about clouds and is wildly mediocre at juggling.
