When he gets lost, Akita helps him find his way home again, but what does Beaver's home look like? Does he live in a nest, hanging in a tree? Or in a hiding place at the bottom of the sea? Beaver and Akita set off in a hot-air balloon to travel the world and find their way home. The illustrator and architect Magnus Weightman takes you on a tour around the world visiting all kinds of fascinating animal houses. For children ages 4 and up, and for everyone who loves to explore and who loves animals. |
Contributor Bio(s): Weightman, Magnus: - Perhaps it was inevitable that Magnus Weightman (Sunderland, 1974) would one day illustrate his own children's book. Drawing has been a passion since his childhood and it was also the reason he chose to become an architect and urban designer. Becoming a father inspired him to bring his love for drawing, architecture, nature and travel together in his first book. Welcome Home, Beaver is both a journey of discovery of amazing animal houses and an epic search for home. From his English/Norwegian roots Magnus has now made his family home in Rotterdam. |
