Having met on tropical shores, Cork and the bottle swirl out to sea into a world of dancing jellyfish, treacherous reefs, surly sea lions, and beautiful swallows. Told in rhythmic rhyme, with the same quirky illustrative style as Cork on the Ocean, Cork and the Bottle is a whole new ocean-bound adventure that explores love, loss, and the meaning of togetherness.

The New Zealand Herald: Canvas Magazine "Top Choice" - Graham Hepburn
The second installment in a planned Cork trilogy sees our hero joining up with the bottle he met on tropical shores at the end of Cork on the Ocean. The two share adventures on and beneath the ocean in yet another quirky and enchanting rhyming tale. The themes of friendship and optimism are brought to life by Rowan's luminous illustrations from a limited colour palette.
