What is Out of the Blue about?

After a fierce storm sweeps across the coast, a girl discovers a mysterious boy and a strange collection of objects washed up on the beach. Together, they explore the transformed shoreline, following clues from the sea and the lighthouse as their adventure unfolds. Told entirely through Alison Jay’s detailed, crackle-textured illustrations, this wordless story encourages readers to imagine the characters’ thoughts and create their own narration. Endnotes introduce marine life, lighthouses and the surprising treasures found on beaches.
