Marco the fox has lots of questions. How deep does the sun go when it sinks into the sea? Why do birds have such lizardy feet? But the other foxes don’t share his curiosity - and Marco feels quietly alone.
Then one day, a magnificent ship arrives at the dock, crowned with antlers and captained by a dignified deer. When the ship seeks a crew, Marco eagerly volunteers. Alongside deer and pigeons, he sets off on a voyage filled with discovery, surprises, and gentle adventure. As the journey unfolds, Marco realises he may not find answers to every question - but he does find something even more important: a friend he can truly talk to.
Written by Dashka Slater and illustrated by Terry Fan and Eric Fan, this story pairs lyrical text with breathtaking artwork that rewards slow, thoughtful reading. Â Ideal for curious minds and sensitive readers, The Antlered Ship is a tender reminder that sometimes the best answers come from being understood.
