"From two-time Caldecott Honor recipient Marla Frazee" over the covers of her books All the World, Bossy Baby, and The Farmer and the Clown... "Discover the wonder in every moment, big and small In Every Life" The text is illuminated with sunstrokes emerging from behind in all around as it shines on above the scent of a child running open armed towards the right in the direction of an older gentleman sitting on a bench. A mother-figure walking behind with a stroller follows the child. Around them are yellow and green foliage.

Queen of the Sea By Dylan Meconis, Dylan Meconis (Illustrator) Cover Image

Queen of the Sea (Paperback)

By Dylan Meconis, Dylan Meconis (Illustrator)
$14.99

What a truly magnificent work of graphic novel artistry. The Queen of the Sea uses the graphic novel medium superbly, reminding me just how powerful this mode of story telling is. The acutely rich historical details in this book truly make it a feast to behold. I was taken in from the very start!! - reviewed by Isabel
