Sailing home is a very well writen and beautifuly illustrated picture book by Colin Thopson and Matt Ottley. It is about family who's house is carried out to sea by a flood and is stuck in the middle of the Ocean until they make a sail out of bath sheets and eventually started moving again. The family travelles to lots of different places and in the end they made it safely home.

I think that sailing home is suiable for ages 5-10.

Hi Francesca, Colin Thompson is an interesting author. Although the story looks straight forward there is a meaning between the lines. Can you identify any messages that Colin is communicating with the story? Ms. Webster
