On his local & global travels young boy Sam Widges encounters
many interesting characters - from a flan fan old man & his
monkey mate on a itchy desert island and mice on the moon hiding
beneath a big chunk of Chinese cheese, to mysterious performers
parading by a Fuji mountain river walk in Japan & didgeridoo
dancing outback aboriginals... Highly detailed illustrations lead
us to discover with Sam Widges what he has always been searching
for all this time when he has travelled all around the world
seeking his mysterious goal. The red world map at the beginning of
the book works like a puzzle for readers to try to guess which page
relates to which stopover point in the book on his long distance
travel to many different continents of this planet & give young
readers an insight into our big planet. His adventure guides the
reader to find the inner values of life that mean more to us than
all the shiny sparkly attractions of the outside world & its
10,000 hypnotic things. This meditative approach is designed to
leave story readers in a peaceful tranquil state of mind ready for
a good dream just before bedtime or to feel like they have
travelled the world without ever leaving their armchair. He
achieves his gentle realisation at last after much soul searching
in the same gentle manner a white feather of peace makes contact
with a pool of crystal clear water landing in a slow motion soft
bounce...
