Benji Davies writes and illustrates picture books about family, separation, friendship and the sea, usually with a gentle story carried by expressive images. The Storm Whale follows Noi, a boy who finds a young whale washed ashore and secretly keeps it in the bath, while the sequel The Storm Whale in Winter returns to Noi and his fisherman father. Grandad's Island uses an imaginative voyage to explore a child's relationship with his grandfather and the experience of loss. The Grotlyn takes a more mysterious, playful approach, following strange night-time thefts through a Victorian-looking city. Davies's books are concise and visually led, fitting picture books, family stories, animal stories and gentle treatments of grief for younger children. Read more Less
