Description
Heroes come in every shape and size and this beautiful picture book shows how courage reveals itself in lots of different ways.
A young boy and his older sister leave home to play a game. To win, she tells him, they must travel across endless lands together and make it to the finish line. Children they meet along the way imagine what might be waiting for them across the border: A spotted dog? Ice cream! Or maybe a new school. But the journey is tough, and the monsters are more real than they imagined.
Beautifully brought to life by author-illustrator Erika Meza, this is a fun, interactive story session exploring this moving book about the spirit and strength it takes to leave your home behind.
Best suited to ages 3+

About the Author
Erika Meza
I am a Mexican Migrant: colorful, bubbly, and a taco connoisseur. After studying graphic design back home (and moving house nearly 30 times) I lived in a dungeon with a princess in Paris to attend the Illustration (Image Imprimée) program at ENSAD, which got me addicted to chocolate éclairs and 2 am bike rides by the river. I now live with a cat in the UK where I work with ink, gouaches and watercolor pencils as an author and illustrator represented in my exploits by Claire Cartey.
