Shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize 2023
A young boy watches the grown-ups in his village go about their work. Everyone is busy: the blacksmith, the boat-builder, the baker. But most important of all, he thinks, are the fishermen who bring in the catch. The boy's father is a baker, but he wants to be a daring fisherman when he grows up, brave enough to sail through stormy seas.
He asks his father, Have you ever been to sea? An atmospheric look at a traditional way of life, and a timeless reminder that everyone is important, no matter how seemingly small their role.
A lyrical, richly illustrated storybook about community and family - set against the backdrop of a seaside fishing village.
