Praise for The Sea of Tranquility:
‘A touching recollection, evocatively illustrated, of a child’s-eye view of the moon and the excitement and wonder he felt when the first moon landing took place.’ Guardian
‘It is back to July 16 1969 for Mark Haddon’s The Sea of Tranquility. Apollo II’s giant leap for mankind is re-lived through the wondering imagination of a small boy and Christian Birmingham’s dream-like celestial pastels. ‘Financial Times
‘The deliciously enchanting text is complemented by Christian Birmingham’s exquisite pastel illustrations, which capture the awe and mystery that the moon had for this small boy.’ Books for Keeps
The extraordinary dream quality of the illustrations ... give this book a real feel of awe and wonder. A terrific book...’ Junior Education
"It's snowed…! It's like the North Pole!"
Alice, Jess and Robin can't wait to go outside.
"You never know," says Dad. "You might
just come across the Ice Bear's cave."
"I'm scared of bears," says Robin.
"Don't you worry," Dad says reassuringly.
"It's probably a fairy tale…"
Or is it? Is the Ice Bear out there,
sleeping deep beneath the
snowdrifts, dreaming
dreams of walruses
and whales, of cold
blue seas and skies
on fire?
