My Head in the Clouds

by Danielle Chaperon, illustrated by Josée Bisaillon, translated by Sophie B. Watson

tagged: travel, stories in verse
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.
