The Frog Who Wanted To See The Sea by Guy Billout
Age range 6+
A timid frog, a small pond, and a big dream combine to create a modern fairy tale in this edition of The Frog Who Wanted to See the Sea.
In simple words and vivid illustrations, French-American author and artist Guy Billout introduces readers to a curious frog named Alice who leaves her comfortable but unchanging surroundings to embark on the adventure of a lifetime - a journey to the sea, the greatest pond of all.
'The illustrator Guy Billout works the narrow but fertile territory where clarity intersects with mystery...his drawings...are bright, figuratively and literally, like dreams dreamt under a noonday desert sun rather than in the usual shape-shifting murk.' - The New York Times Book Review
