The third title in the series, Plume: Festival Seeker is the most
gorgeous children's picture book celebrating – what else? –
celebrations! Throughout the year, the world is plump with astonishing
festivals and Plume loves them all! Journey alongside this adventurous,
colour-loving penguin as he jumps aboard the Albatross Express to enjoy a
range of enchanting events across the globe.
Stare in wonder at
the Up Helly Aa fire festival in Scotland and the freaky Day of
Masquerade in Costa Rica. Get messy at the squelchy Boryeong Mud
Festival in South Korea or La Tomatina tomato battle in Spain. Scatter a
rainbow of colour during Holi in India or enjoy a celebration of gifts,
sweets and kindness at Eid al-Fitr in Algeria.
A year of
wonder and excitement culminates in Plume’s favourite festival of them
all – Christmas! Will his reluctant penguin friends join him for the
celebrations?
Featuring a stunning rainbow-foil cover, Festival Seeker makes the perfect gift for travel-lovers and culture-buffs of all ages.
