Ella Okstad for OUP

Another brilliant book Ella Okstad has been working on recently is this little corker from Oxford University Press: 'Nelly and the Quest for Captain Peabody!'
One girl. One turtle. One epic voyage! If you like Pippi Longstocking, you'll love Nelly Peabody. 
When Nelly says she's going to do a thing, she does it, whatever it is. 
Learn to juggle china cups? Of course! 
Live on lemons for a month? Why not? 
Set out in a boat with knitted sails to find her long-lost father, with only her turtle Columbus for company? Absolutely! 
And she won't let anything get in her way.

Ella Okstad: The Wonderful Wizard of Oz

We are proud to present the fabulous new work from Ella Okstad, who has recently completed work on the Alma books publication of the classic 'Wonderful Wizard of Oz'. She was commissioned to do the stunning cover art and black and white interior illustrations. Her unique, contemporary style works perfectly for the story, giving it a fresh update, making it a firm favourite for a new generation of children!
