Description
When a young boy named Pieter finds himself getting into trouble, his grandmother takes the time to tell him a story about another mischievous boy who was about the same age as he. The boy in the story, Jan, was somewhat of a troublemaker; but one day, he did something heroic and saved the town by holding back a leak in the ocean. Read this storybook to find out just how he managed to do it! The book has wonderful picture illustrations on every even numbered page, while the dialogue or text is on the odd numbered pages. 27 pgs, pb.
Note: A scene in the story vaguely alludes to a man being drunk.
Publisher's Description of Boy Who Held Back the Sea
From the award-winning and renowned illustrator Thomas Locker, beautiful oil-painted illustrations pair with this wonderful retelling of the traditional Dutch folktale.
Jan had never done anything more heroic than shout for the guard because he'd imagined he'd seen a sea serpent. But when Jan discovered water trickling through a desolate stretch of the dike that protected his low-lying village, he knew he had to act fast.
