A heartwarming tale of friendship and optimism from internationally bestselling author-illustrator Petr Horácek.
Snail dreams of seeing the sunset over the sea – but he has a long way to go. Can his friends help make his wish come true? From Petr Horácek, “the thinking tot’s Eric Carle” (Washington Post), comes a colourful and humorous tale, perfect for reading aloud with little ones.
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.
