Illustrated by Anne Ryan
Published by Ford St Publishing
Like a turtle, Salih carries his home on his back. He must cross a raging sea in search of a safe home. Salih paints his happiest memories and sends them as messages in bottles.Will someone find them and understand? Will Salih find a new home?
Salih will be available in libraries and bookstores from March 1, 2020.
If you’d like to order a signed copy from my site, you can head to the shop.
My author’s notes can be found here, and teaching notes with curriculum links and class activities will be added soon.
I am always happy to be contacted if you’d like to engage me for school visits (in-person or virtual), workshops or other events.
