Weslandia

Review Humorously and sumptuously illustrated... Satirical, magical and inspiring. ― The Sunday Times A great picture book... Huge fun. Oh, and thought-provoking too. ― The Observer You can't do anything other than love this book. It's heroic! It's educational! It's ethical! And not only that, it's a delight to read. Marvellous, marvellous stuff. -- Jill Murphy ― thebookbag.co.uk Product Description A gloriously illustrated celebration of individualism from an award-winning author. Wesley’s an outcast from the civilization around him – he’s not into pizza or football or haircuts. But during the summer holidays, he has a brilliant idea: he’ll found a civilization of his own – in the back garden! From this seed a whole world grows and blooms – the extraordinary, imaginative world of Weslandia! Wesley creates his own food, clothing, shelter, games, language even, and gradually wins over the other children. About the Author A prolific author of picture books, novels, choral poetry, non-fiction, screenplays, an opera, adult fiction, and one play (so far!). The award-winning illustrator of Weslandia and City Circus.
