Cannonball
Josh Morgan
(Illustrator)
Description
A summer tale about family, overcoming fears, and the importance of being oneself, all in the pursuit of performing the perfect cannonball
I'm ready to pull off the perfect cannonball, but everyone has advice.
"You need more weight"
"Bigger shorts!"
"More muscles!"
"BIGGER SHORTS!"
As one boy searches for the secret to executing the perfect cannonball, it's only by listening to his own voice that he finds his unique style and pulls off a truly awe-inspiring CANNONBALL.
A celebration of native culture, a glossary including Maori words is included.
