WA author. PICTURE BOOKS. AUSTRALIAN. Ziba came on a boat. A soggy old fishing boat, which creaked and moaned as it rose and fell, rose and fell, across an endless sea... Ziba thinks of home as she sits in the crowded hull, held in her mother's arms as they journey towards a new land where they hope to find peace and safety. A beautiful, lyrical picture book about a little girl whose family has lost everything and their brave journey to make a new life. Full of hope for the future, the love and comfort found in families, and warm memories of home, this moving story is accompanied by stunning illustrations by the acclaimed Robert Ingpen.
