Description
Hero of the Sea: Sir Peter Blake’s Mighty Ocean Quests tells the story of a Kiwi who conquered some of the world’s toughest sailing challenges, then turned his attention to protecting the planet he loved. From learning to sail as a boy in Auckland to competing in gruelling round-the-world races and helping lead New Zealand to America’s Cup glory, Sir Peter Blake’s life was full of extraordinary adventures.
His famous red socks became a symbol of his spirit, but his legacy reaches well beyond sporting success. He used his profile to draw attention to the threats facing our oceans and the importance of looking after the natural world.
With engaging storytelling and expressive illustrations, this picture-book biography introduces children to a remarkable New Zealander whose achievements on the water were matched by his commitment to making a difference.
