So, when Queen invites Halibut to the Palace for a party, it is only natural for him to fashion an ornate and glittering suit to blend in with the Palace walls. In order to stay undercover, Halibut makes his own suits out of fabrics with convenient patterns: he saves the brick wall pattern for when he goes into town, the flower pattern for the park, and the book pattern for the library. He wants nothing more than to blend into the background–any background. Parents and kids alike will love little Halibut with his penchant for wide brimmed hats and capes (ala Madeline) from the start–they just have to find him first. Quirky, sweet, and brilliantly illustrated, David Lucas’ Halibut Jackson, has the makings of an instant classic. This is his first book as author and illustrator. Sobre o autor: David Lucas studied illustration at the Royal College of Art.

You lock your door and assume that nobody is going to break in. Now suppose you decide to go camping for a couple of weeks. It's part of your creativity, your hard work. It's something you've made your own, something for you to be remembered by, something that, perhaps years later, your children and grandchildren can visit and get a view of your life in.
