1 y separately published work icon Ship Ahoy! Box Boy Mal Webster , Mal Webster (illustrator), Kew East : Windy Hollow , 2022 24683890 2022 single work picture book children's

There was a boy who loved making things with boxes.

'Limited by the space in his backyard and a few cardboard boxes, ‘Ship Ahoy Box Boy’ shows what’s possible with some clever ingenuity and an unlimited imagination.

'Ship Ahoy! Box Boy is the latest book from Mal Webster and follows on from his successful book Box Boy. Influenced by recent lockdowns and home-schooling Mal was inspired to celebrate imagination and creative play within a home environment, showing that with a little inventiveness a world of adventure awaits.'

'Henry's balloon slips from his hand and drifts into the sky... it drifts up and up to the balloon cloud, a special cloud in the sky where all the lost balloons go. When Henry was little, his brother Sam died and Henry still misses him. "Do you think Sam would like to play in the balloon cloud?" asks Henry. "Yes, Sam loved balloons," replies his mother. Henry and his friends embark on a journey to find the balloon cloud. A touching story with beautiful illustrations, The Balloon Cloud is a story about loss, letting go and remembering those who are no longer with us.'  (Publication summary)

A celebration of fathers and their role.' Source: www.hachettechildrens.com.au/ (Sighted 31/08/2011).

'A boy loves collecting things, especially cardboard boxes. He makes more and more amazing things from boxes, until his work is noticed by an art gallery director who gives him a big exhibition. He tires of artistic fame though, and goes back home to play with his boxes, until one day he discovers a new collectible, with potential, inside a box – bubble wrap!'
