£7.50

Fi Jones is a cruising granny. She and her husband Chris are yachtmasters and members of the Ocean Cruising Club. It’s likely that they experience the conflicted emotions described by other cruising couples as they leave their family on land to follow their passion for the sea. This is the second of two books for young children in which Jones describes an Atlantic crossing from Spain and Gibralter, via Madiera and the Canary Islands to Santa Lucia. Hannah Edge’s colourful illustrations are appropriately lively and there’s plenty of educational content in Jones’s doggerel verse. Every page offers potential talking points for families in a similar situation. It’s also an expression of love. So, buy this book or write your own!
