When he floats back to the beach—was it a few hours? a few minutes?—his mother is there at the water''s edge right where he left her. Perhaps it was a dream? And yet he has returned from his solo adventure with a gift pressed into his palm, a tiny seed that when planted will grow on its own.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeparation from a parent, whether for a long period or just a few minutes, can fill a child with anxiety, but at other times that same child may long to do things on their own. Using gouache, collage and watercolor, Lundberg''s stunning illustrations in \u003ci\u003eNobody But Me\u003c\/i\u003e convey both the child’s agency and the unbreakable bond with his mother. Here is a story that will bring joy to young and old readers alike. 4-7 years.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The author invite us to witness the magic of a perfect childhood [story].”**\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e*August Prize jury\u003cbr\u003e**Special Mention Bologna Ragazzi Awards 2025, Fiction","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57484228460917,"sku":"9781644215241","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9781644215241.jpg?v=1786266276","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/nobody-but-me","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
