"Once, there was a small rhinoceros who wanted to see the big world. So she built a boat. And sailed away ... From the duo behind award-winning picture book No Bears comes a simple yet inspirational tale about challenging the norm, pushing boundaries and being true to oneself."
Feat. a small rhinoceros with wanderlust. Okay, cute! The small rhinoceros dreams of exploring the world, and gradually collects what she'll need in order to do so. There's not a lot of fanfare, just a lil' rhino, living her best life. I love the sketchy, soft pencil illustrations. There's sweet detailing, and a sense of exuberance that should appeal to little people.
This one should have broad appeal, both in terms of style and content. Above all else, it's a nice starting point for discussing other countries and cultures. Our little fam is hungry for adventure, so this story fed right into that. Guess we need to build a raft, yo'.
Once Upon A Small Rhinoceros is out Sept 1st.
