Storm Boy - Book

An Indian boy is thrown from his canoe into a great mystery. Washed ashore at an unfamiliar island, the boy finds his arrival eagerly awaited by the strange and giant people. Beautiful color images.

Storm Boy is written and illustrated by Paul Owen Lewis, who lives near Seattle. After a violent sea storm, a Haida prince washes ashore in the supernatural realm of the giant killer whale people, where a spiritual journey begins. The artwork draws on Northwest Coast Native American design motifs to build its sense of mystery.
