Some photos from World Book Day at St Matthias. Author Johanna Connor visited the school with her art book and App ‘Nearly There’, a story of friendship and discovery. The book tells a tale of two horses, Budley and Bishop, who go on an exciting journey, meeting mysterious strangers and overcoming obstacles, Along the way, they encounter other animals all unhappy with their lot. Once freed from human captivity these friends embark upon a quest for fulfillment. Seemingly defenseless, they thrive in the face of adversity.
On their meanderings, music and song guides them towards their goal. On the roadside a naked chicken appears and says: ‘Can you help me find my feathers?’ Bishop, a thoroughbred bay mare, asserted to her: ‘Of course, come with us!’ And so the journey begins… on the road to NEARLY THERE!
With its exquisite drawings, catchy tunes, exciting and innovative narration, NEARLY THERE takes you on an unforgettable journey. This is a story for the child in all of us.
