Description

From Governor General’s Award finalist Frank Viva-comes a picture book that soars from the ocean to-outer space—or from space to sea—and back again

Ready . . . Steady . . . Down! Zoom away on an adventure that begins on a distant planet and plunges into the mysterious deep. Or begin your adventure underwater, then go zipping upward into the wondrous cosmos. This two-direction story follows an adorable alien who leaves his family to discover a new life in the ocean depths—or a sea creature who leaves his cozy ocean home to find his new family in outer space, depending on which way the pages are turned. Gorgeous,-innovative and utterly original, A Long Way Away will soar for a long,-long time.
