A magnificent, unique and beautifully illustrated picture book, about coming to terms with oneself, by a first time author and illustrator. Nose thinks "Somewhere in the world must be a place just for me. A place where I can fit in, and stick out. I could be really happy there!" And so he goes to look for it. He climbs up high as the mountains and dives down deep as the fish. He goes where it's clear, cold and tingly and to where it's spicy and hot. He goes everywhere...until one day he realises that wherever he goes, he fits in perfectly because he's in the middle of his own world which is all that matters. This book is a masterpiece, combining high-art illustrations with simple yet sophisticated text. The affirmative, joyous message of this book is that everything has its own place in the world, and The Adventures of A Nose can claim its position as one of the most impressive picture books around.
