Pea Pod Lullaby by Glenda Millard & Stephen Michael King

A small sailboat. A family climbing on board unsure of where their journey will end. The plight of many who seek safer shores for their families, dangerously floating out into the dark seas. Their only choice as they leave war and unmentionable destruction behind.

Day turns to night as the family hunker down in their boat, the melancholic seas pushing them onwards into the unknown. A polar bear joins them, lost and alone, also seeking his family and a safe place to land.

A beautiful and poetic story of bravery and seeking refuge written by Glenda Millard, her words intricately woven across the water-coloured pages of Stephen Michael King’s incredible illustrations. A nod to climate change, this book also offers a different perspective as it’s not just people who search for safety but animals too.

A life-affirming story of bravery against all odds, ‘Pea Pod Lullaby’ is a must-have for every book shelf. A reminder that our world is changing and we need to embrace everyone and everything that lives on our planet.
