Michao forgot to pack their swimsuits and all the beach toys! But there's still a way to have fun: using their imagination to build a ship and sail it far, far away."--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>A book that will make us reminisce about summers past and dream of a great summer in 2021.</b></p> <p>When Michao and his friends arrive at the beach for a day trip, they open the car trunk to find...nothing. Michao forgot to pack their swimsuits and all the beach toys! But there's still a way to have fun: using their imagination to build a ship and sail it far, far away.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>It's a beautiful summer day. Michao is driving us to the beach. We can't wait! Who will see the sea first?--Olivier de Solminihac<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><b>Praise for The Ship of Fortune: </b></p> <p><b>Highly Recommended. </b>How do you make something from nothing? With your imagination! That's the delightful message Olivier de Solminihac delivers in the English translation of his inspiring picture book, <i>The Ship of Fortune</i>. Originally published in French in 2014, the playful text is brought to life beautifully through the appealing and skillfully-wrought paintings by Canadian multi-award-winning artist, Stéphane Poulin. The book features three characters of different species, with no explanation offered, given, nor needed, because family groupings are made up of all sorts of people. <p/>This whimsical tale is perfect any time to inspire children to use their imaginations. It's even more appropriate for Covid times, when excitement about the lockdown became old quickly. Montrealer Stéphane Poulin's vivid acrylic paintings show the beauty of a seaside beach. The sun is bright on this summer day, the sea beyond is vast and blue, the whitecaps inviting. <b>The characters are intriguing, Poulin's representation of their feelings subtle.</b> Like Rembrandt's 1633 etching, "The Ship of Fortune", we can choose our adventures. <b>De Solminihac has captured the essence of that lesson in this happy tale brought to life on the page by Stéphan Poulin's beautiful interpretations.</b> -- <i>CM: Canadian Review of Materials</i></p><br>
