A charming story about friendship and optimism from internationally bestselling author-illustrator Petr Horácek.
It's Snail's birthday, and he wants to do something special. He's always dreamed of seeing the sunset over the sea - but it's a long way to go. Can his friends help make his dreams come true? A charming and vibrantly illustrated picture book perfect for sharing with young children, from the internationally acclaimed author-illustrator Petr Horácek.
Petr Horácek’s bold and imaginative illustrations continue to captivate children and critics. His stories, often about loyalty and belonging, are told with an instinctive warmth and humour and are beautifully brought to life through his evocative use of colour and texture. He has won many awards around the world for classics such as Suzy Goose and A New House for Mouse and was shortlisted for the prestigious Kate Greenaway Medal in 2012 and 2018.
