Synopsis

Ages 2 and up.

What if you woke up one morning and you were floating? What was supposed to be an ordinary school field trip turns out to be a real adventure filled with monkeys, elephants, kites, balloons, and a great big airplane, all of them leaving one little boy wondering if he’ll ever come down.

"This delightful story is accompanied by bright, fanciful illustrations. The youngster's face is drawn with lots of expression, indicating his fear and delight at being able to float. The tall size of the book allows for vertical pictures and aerial scenes that match the tone of the story. Match this whimsical fantasy with David Weisner's Tuesday (Clarion, 1991) for an amusing airborne storytime." —Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT

À propos de l'auteur

Rick and Ryan Goldsberry are the father and son dynamic duo writing/illustrating team behind the children's picture book Floater.

Most of Rick's adventures begin with the words "what if". Like... "What if one of the grandkids got a hold of a Marks-A-Lot permanent marker and took it into the living room?" In between his adventures, he writes children's books with his son Ryan the illustrator. Floater is their first book and Rick sees no reason that the trend should stop there so long as he can keep wearing t-shirts.

During the day Ryan is a mild mannered animator for Disney Interactive, but at night everything changes...he dons a cape and skin tight suit and becomes a super-powered illustrator! He also has a wife and five kids...which technically makes him insane. Ryan's goal is to make books that parents won't mind reading to their kids and that kids will want to read over and over again.
