Above & Below: The Voyages of Virgilio takes the reader on a transformative journey through a stunning, fantastical dreamscape.
Spying a ship along the shore, young Virgilio climbs aboard and embarks on an adventure at sea, sailing past the bright lights of New York City into parts unknown. A swirling storm whisks him away to strange waters where he encounters a host of sea life and mythical creatures, some friendly, others frightening. When his ship sinks, he dives down to the deepest depths and dances with the dead — only to make his escape and swim back to the known world.
Mia Wolff's rhyming verses and dazzling watercolors add a touch of wonder and whimsy to this warm-hearted fable. Readers of all ages with a sense of adventure will be enchanted from its first page to the last.
Hardcover (Horizontal Format), 11-in. x 8 1/2-in., 32 pages, full color.
