Marlo by Christopher Browne
A glorious, mostly wordless picture book about a dog who needs a bath-and finds much more than that-by phenomenal debut author/illustrator Christopher Browne, who was inspired by his own rescue dog. Perfect for fans of Aaron Becker's Caldecott Honor Book Journey and Erin and Philip Stead's books. This lush picture book launches readers into a world of imagination: a glorious underwater adventure with seas of brilliantly colored fish, shadowy predators, and two friends who long to be reunited. With a clever seek-and-find element on each spread, there are treasures to be pored over again and again.
"Transforms a simple bath into an underwater epic..with a deft minimalism recalling Charles Schultz or Mo Willems...Dripping with delight." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Vivid, engrossing...Bring a friend and dive in!" -- Booklist "An unexpected and colorful wordless adventure...offers much to behold on each perusal." -- School Library Journal
Christopher Browne was born and raised in Massachusetts in a small town filled with apple orchards and sheep. Years later, while he was living in Philly, a ragged young pit bull named Marlo came into his life. Marlo's sweet, stubborn, and soulful personality soon worked itself not only into Christopher's imagination but into countless sketches. Christopher currently lives in New York City working as an art director and illustrator. Marlo is his first picture book.
