A Sea of Love

Pieter

Heartwarming story about following your heart and your dreams

Magnificently illustrated by Pieter Gaudesaboos

A favourite of the public: already more than 20,000 copies sold in the Low Countries

A little penguin crosses the ocean to reach a lighthouse. He has important news for his friend the bear. So important that he hesitates and even considers returning home. Because he knows that, as soon as he will share his secret, everything will change forever. There’s no doubt about that.

This is a book to cherish for a lifetime. A modern classic!

It's hard to imagine a more beautiful plea for love.

– Leading Belgian newspaper De Standaard

The language is honest, hesitant and candid, just like love can be too. A rich picture book on many levels.
