Queen of Seagulls by Ruta Briede

Queen of Seagulls by Ruta Briede

The Queen of Seagulls is a contemporary, refreshing picture book, suitable for all ages, and illustrated with expressive, bold artwork that is full of personality. It is written and drawn by Ruta Briede, a leading illustrator and instructor at the Latvian Academy of Arts.

Direct and refreshingly ironic, this is an unusual book for both children and adults alike, about love, friendship, memory, and the joy of finding one’s place in the worldThis is a delightfully strange picturebook and a rare thing; a contemporary fable with heart and humour, accessible to both children and adult readers.
