King Of The Sky Av Nicola Davies

<p><b>A powerful and beautifully illustrated story about migration and the meaning of home, from the award-winning team behind <i>The Promise</i>.</b><br><br>A breathtaking new picture book by children''s author Nicola Davies, illustrated by Laura Carlin, winner of the Bratislava Illustration Biennale and the Bologna Ragazzi Prize for Illustration. Starting a new life in a new country, a young boy feels lost and alone – until he meets an old man who keeps racing pigeons. Together they pin their hopes on a race across Europe and the special bird they believe can win it: King of the Sky.

A musical adaptation of <i>King of the Sky</i> has already met with success on the stage, shown two years running at the Hay Festival and due to tour Welsh theatres next spring.<br><br><br><b>Shortlisted for the Kate Greenaway Medal.</b></p>
