The Stowaway
Geoffrey’s sequel
Geoffrey Giraffe is back, in the sequel to his incredible and successful debut storybook,
‘Never Alone’.
Four brave pilots set out on a journey of a lifetime. Without a single aircraft in sight, they begin a mission to cross the Atlantic Ocean…in a rowing boat! Once again, based on real life adventures, The Stowaway is a storybook which shares Geoffrey’s tales of friendship and fun. Exhausting rowing-relays, the lack of home comforts and fear-inducing food-rationing take their toll, but through determination and camaraderie, the Fearless Five finally make it to dry land.
As their wobbly sea-legs step onto the beautiful beaches of their destination, a new, very special partnership is borne.
Again, Lily Steel’s incredible paintings help to bring the storybook to life. Images of glorious sunsets, miles of beckoning oceans and wildlife in all shapes and sizes, take you along the journey with the beautiful rhyme. However, be warned; this tale is not for the faint hearted; hungry rowers with limited food and the lack of a bathroom - make for a challenging trip.
3000 miles.
Four intrepid adventurers…
(and one unlikely Stowaway!)
Adventure calls, leaving loved ones behind
and bringing waves of loneliness in their
wake. Geoffrey knows that his companionship
is just what they need to see them through the
long nights and rough seas.
