Going On A Journey To The Sea
Jane Barclay

Lobster Press
$19.95
hardcover

And the cherry on top of this delicious sundae of children’s books is undoubtedly Going on a Journey to the Sea (Lobster Press, $19.95 hardcover, ages four to six), a mix of poetry by Jane Barclay and lovely page-filling illustrations by Liz Milkau. Barclay is a former winner of The Writers’ Union of Canada’s Writing for Children Competition for How Cold Was It? The language lets kids feel the hot sand, see and hear the grasses bend and swish, taste sticky sweet ice cream sugar-stones

A real delight to the senses and as rhythmical as the waves. mRb
