Albie

Product Information

I was lucky enough to once visit a cave in France that had some genuine prehistoric cave art and this spread reminds me of that special time. Published as a beautiful hardback with embossed dust cover, and marker ribbon, this is a gift book to entrance readers of all ages. A common rule was no fighting amongst pirates on board the ship, however the Pirate Code differed from ship to ship.

All the while Grandad keeps popping up in the background, watching different parts of the film Back To The Future. Join Albie on an exciting underwater adventure as he hunts for sunken treasure with a crew of crazy pirates. This is an accessible, inclusive delight of an adventure, with a bittersweet centre – that will take readers as far as their curiosity dares them to go. By creating stories about ordinary people in different settings we can develop greater empathy and understanding for the real people around us, both within our communities and in the wider world.Once these are all agreed by everyone, including me, the illustrator will create full colour images and the book is eventually printed.

In conjuction with Cosgrove Hall Films, Andy created and developed the award-winning animated television series, Albie, for CITV. I also love how relaxed and happy Albie is with his new friend and how excited he is to be creating his own story in the wall of her cave! Meet Sonny, Honey, Meemo and Boo four adorable, furry friends who are learning how to get along in a pre-school setting.There's a brilliant part where Albie and his pals are sliding down a tunnel and the book flips on its side to better reflect their descent. Chris Edge’s writing is wonderfully fresh and acute, and as he tells Albie’s story he addresses some difficult issues, including bullying and parental absence as well as bereavement, with enormous empathy and a wicked understanding of ten-year-old humour. I like to focus on what it was like to live and play in those times, what people ate, what they did in their spare time, what they were afraid of and what they looked forward to. If quantum physics said that my mum was still alive in some parallel universe, then maybe quantum physics could help me find her. He may be ‘The Man Who Can Explain Everything’ but from Albie’s perspective he’s never around to explain anything.
