To the end of the world, far, far away - it's where Louis and his mother go to express their love.
When his mother gets cross, Louis decides to run away: "I'm going to the end of the world far, far away." Playfully, dramatically, his mother describes how sad she would be to see him go. And we realize, "going away" is a game they both love to play.
This fantastical story articulates the depth and breadth of a mother's love, and is filled with Victoria Turnbull's rich, whimsical scenes full of wonder; scenes that will take children to the very ends of their imaginations.
Ronda Armitage is the author of many children's books, including A Mighty Bitey Creature, illustrated by Nikki Dyson, and the much-loved Lighthouse Keeper series of stories, illustrated by her husband, David Armitage, which are still in print after 45 years. Find her online at rondarmitage.com.

After winning the AOI's new talent award, her author-illustrator debut, The Sea Tiger, was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal and shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize. She is also the author-illustrator of Kings of the Castle, Pandora and Cloud Forest. Find her online at victurnbull.com and as @vic_turnbull on Twitter and Instagram.
