Fia looks out her window and across the bay. She longs to see the mysterious island, which appears and disappears in the water.One night a moonbeam reaches across the bay and leads her to the island. She walks with magical creatures, dances with a host of girls and boys, and visits the bottom of the sea and the stars in space.
"Nicola Bernardelli’s illustrations are suffused with light and glimmering tendrils of magic, which spin through a blushing twilight sky." Sara Keating The Irish Times
"It is quite unusual to find a full fantasy adventure as a picture book. This is not a story that talks down to children in any way. The language used is rich and evocative and the atmosphere beautifully captured by the prose." Books for Topics
"To the Island is the perfect book to transport your young reader to a whole new world, fuelling both imagination and curiosity." Armadillo Magazine
