Catch Some Waves with Surfing Sally this Saturday at the Book Lounge
Surfing Sally is a story inspired by life at the south-western tip of Africa. It is a magical tale about the excitement of surfing.
The author Mary Duncan and illustrator Wendy McKeag both live there, sandwiched between mountain and sea on the Cape Peninsula.
On the surface, Surfing Sally is a story for 2- to 10-year-olds, about a salty-haired girl, two lively dogs, and a whizz of a time at the beach.
She senses a whole life in the ocean, air and sky just as vital as each wave she thrills to catch and ride along.For Sally, surfing seems the ultimate way – dunked in sea, bathed in light, immersed in nature. Of course there are many other ways, wherever you are.
So, actually, Surfing Sally isn’t just for 2- to 10-year-olds, but for everyone who appreciates the delights of our natural world.
Come along and meet Mary Duncan and get some first hand surfing tips from her.
Storytime is every Saturday at 11am.
