(Gifted) The Real Boat by Marina Aromshtam and illustrated by Victoria Semykina . It’s a story about a paper boat who wants to sail on the ocean like ‘real boats’. However, he doesn’t know where the ocean is, so he needs the help of all kinds of different boats to tell him how to get to the ocean. . You can swipe to see some of Victoria’s illustrations! I especially love how some of the boats appear to have eyes if you look closely! Victoria has won the ‘Highly Commended’ prize at the Klaus Flugge Awards for her illustrations in the Real Boat!! If you’d like to see her in real life, she’s part of the 2018 Children’s Bookshow! Her stop will be the 2nd of October in Ilkley, Yorkshire. And there are loads of other great writers and illustrators taking part, so make sure you check and see who will be having an event near you! . Huge thank you to @templarpublishing for sending me a copy! . . . #therealboat #victoriasemykina #marinaaromshtam #templarpublishing #childrensbookshow #bookcover #picturebook #kidlit #childrensbook #beautifulbooks https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn8JQIOF21k/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pqjb5rnhbri5
