On the fourth day, we reached the sea…

"The Endless Sea paints an honest and sobering, yet hopeful, picture of the reality faced by those who are forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in another land […] Linh Dao’s illustrations add so much to the strength of story. As the soft greens change to the black of night and the deep greys of the sea, it becomes clear just how much they are leaving behind and the hope they have for the future." - Scope for Imagination
