Description
Travel the world with an intrepid explorer who's adventurous, brave and just a little bit forgetful.
She searches for ancient loot but loses her swimsuit! Goes to beautiful places and misplaces three suitcases! From Canada to Nepal to Egypt and beyond, our narrator circles the globe while abandoning her possessions. She even loses her mother, briefly, in the desert.
The cadence and rhyme, accented by quirky collage-style art, will propel readers along through this exciting excursion, ultimately landing on a fact page dedicated to the places you've just read about. Join us on our journey around the world.
About the authors
Danielle Chaperon est née à La Malbaie. Enfant, elle aimait par-dessus tout écrire des pièces de théâtre pour sa joyeuse bande de voisins‧es. Bien des années plus tard, elle est allée étudier en littérature à l’Université Laval à Québec. Attirée par le monde de l’enseignement, elle s’est ensuite inscrite en Éducation à l’Université d’Ottawa et a enseigné de nombreuses années en Ontario et au Québec. En 2013, elle publie son premier album jeunesse : L’abominable, publié à La Courte Échelle. Depuis, elle continue d’écrire, toujours avec le même plaisir et elle n’a pas l’intention d’arrêter de sitôt.

Editorial Reviews
“Whimsical multimedia illustrations are often engaging.”

“Imagination and daydreaming are the keys to unlocking this around the world trip. Written in prose, with exceptional illustrations, only the reader's imagination can be better than this book.”
Must Read Literature: K thru YA
"Engaging...bright, mixed-media illustrations."
CM: Canadian Review of Materials
“A lovely tale of adventure, mystery, and, of course, forgetfulness, it’s destined to give you the travel bug.”
