Boatbird is the third in the BIG Kids Magazine conceived series Books that Grow, an illustrated allegory with a dual reading for both children and grown-ups offering a poetic way of telling the stories we are finding it increasingly difficult to hear. A co-authored project to bridge stories of imagination across ages by the creators of BIG Kids Magazine, Jo Pollitt and Lilly Blue. Books that Grow is a BIG collaboration that offers a unique and shared reading experience for adults and children. On each double page there will be text for the grown next to words for the growing, inviting both children and adults to move between the two verses and slip between streams of simplicity and poetry. Books that Grow allow for the meeting points and differences in the way that children and adults understand language, decipher imagery, and create meaning together. A poetic allegory of journey and connection, at a time when we are seeing an alarming increase of displacement worldwide, Boatbird sails headlong into difficulty searching for other ways of being with the world.
