Description

The Wreck of the ZephyrIn 1983, beloved Caldecott winning illustrator, Chris Van Allsburg, first invited readers to peer over the edge of a cliff to consider the wreck of a small sailboat. Had a churning sea carried the Zephyr up in a storm? Could waves ever have been so impossibly high? And what of the boy who had believed dared to chase the wind no matter where it lead? The winds have shifted once again and you're invited back to the wreck of the Zephyr, to hear the story

In 1983, beloved Caldecott-winning illustrator, Chris Van Allsburg, first invited readers to peer over the edge of a cliff to consider the wreck of a small sailboat. Had a churning sea carried the Zephyr up in a storm? Could waves ever have been so impossibly high? And what of the boy who had believed--dared to chase the wind--no matter where it lead?

The winds have shifted once again and you're invited back to the wreck of the Zephyr, to hear the story of the boy and his obsession to become the world's greatest sailor, and a storm that carried them to a place where boats sail on the wind, instead of on the water.

Told in spare text and haunting, full-color pastels, Chris Van Allsburg's spectral sailboats once again take impossbile flight. In illustrations so vivid one can feel the whisper of wind and hear the flutter of canvas, depart this world for another to entertain the marvelous possibility of dreams.

This 30th anniversary gift edition includes a bonus digital audio file to download, read by Chris Van Allsburg, and a stunning new jacket

Fantastic purchase
Size: X-Large, Color: Peacockblue
Bought two sets of the large and extra large backpacks in peacock blue for two traveling for an 8 day island vacation out of the country. No problems with size with American Airlines. The storage capacity was fantastic with room to spare for selected purchases to bring back. Color and fabric beautiful. Padded handle and straps comfortable. Well made with functional, easy to access compartments. Combined purchase with vacuum bags which I'm surprised helped greatly, as well as Gorpuire small foldable hand truck dolly which made transport super easy and when folded, easily fit into the front of the Xtra large bag. Unbelieveable value for the price point on all items. Wish I had taken pictures. LOVE this purchase and may not have to check bags in the future. More stars if I could!

Perfect travel bag
Size: Large, Color: Black
I ordered this for work travel and have used it for several months now. It is the perfect bag. The shoulder straps are comfortable. It can fit a lot of clothing and books and my laptop. My only suggestion is that it has the laptop sleeve on the front which makes it tip forward / front heavy. It would be better placed at the back. I have TSA precheck so I don't have to take my laptop out, so I pack it inside at the back rather than using the laptop sleeve at the front. But other than that, the price is great. The color options are great and the size is perfect. It slides nicely over my roller suitcase handle and I've never had an issue on an airplane with fit.

Cute, lightweight and so roomy!
Size: Large, Color: Amourpink, Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
I am honestly so impressed with this backpack! It is the perfect mix of cute, comfy, and practical. The soft blush pink color is beautiful in person and gives it such a clean, stylish look without being flashy. What surprised me most is how spacious it is. It holds SO much more than it looks like it would. I was able to fit all my travel essentials inside with room to spare, and the different compartments make it easy to stay organized. The side pockets are super convenient, and I love that it slides right onto my suitcase handle for traveling. The straps are also really comfortable and padded, so even when the bag is full it still feels easy to carry. The material feels lightweight but durable, which makes it perfect for travel, work, day trips, or even everyday use. If you want a backpack that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, this one is definitely worth it. Cute, cozy-looking, lightweight, and surprisingly roomy!

Size: Large, Color: Amourpink, Size: Large, Color: Amourpink
Absolutely LOVE this back pack I use it all the time! It holds a ton of stuff and has a lot of pockets and holds a good amount of stuff. It’s great for a simple sleep over and even flights. It’s very durable and great as a personal item on flights. The strap to keep it on your roller bag is great and it also has a ton of straps to adjust it
