Picture This: The Boy on the Page

One morning, a boy landed on a page. What follows is a story filled with amazing experiences and wonderful connections. From planting a tree to helping someone in need, the boy - who becomes a man over the course of the pages - impacts the lives of everyone around him, but one thing still troubles him: why is he there?

The Boy on the Page is a lighthearted way to discuss big questions about the purpose of life and our value to those around us. The final pages show how even our smallest actions can have a big effect on those around us and that everyone is vitally important to someone else. 

It is a story about growing up and finding your place, and gently encourages children to acknowledge that it's okay to feel a bit lost sometimes. 

The artwork in this picture book is colourful and sweet, often telling its own story beyond the words on the page. 

The Boy on the Page is written and illustrated by Peter Carnavas
