Allow me to present Emily & the Golden Acorn by @ianarchiebeck. In this irresistible tale of high adventure, a girl and her younger brother find that their beloved oak tree has transformed overnight into a pirate ship, their neighborhood and the land beyond now covered by a vast ocean. Beck’s lively ink-and-watercolor illustrations convey the wonder and drama of their perilous voyage to the edge of the world and back. Is their experience real or imaginary? The author wisely leaves the question open to interpretation, allowing us to believe either answer—or perhaps both at once. #ianbeck #goldenacorn #acorn #pirate #ship #pirateship #storm #book #books #childrensbooks #beautifulbooks #picturebook #picturebooks #picturebookillustration #picturebookillustrations #picturebookart #childrensbookillustration #childrensliterature #illustration #kidlit #kidsbooks #bookworm #booklover #booklovers #bibliophile #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookstagrammers #instabook #instabooks
