The Biggest, Highest Wave
by Kerry McQuaide
Girl versus nature.
Surfer versus wave.
A graceful, gritty, and courageous female surfer faces the mighty force of nature’s waves—inspired by the world-famous, record-breaking swells that occur in Nazaré, Portugal. It’s a testament to the human spirit and a young girl’s ability to get back up after being turned upside down.
Ages 3 to 8.
Full color picture book.
Hardcover with dust jacket.
Picture book measures 7'' wide x 12'' high.
32 pages.
Publisher: Peter Pauper Press, Inc.
ISBN 978-1-4413-44885
THE BIGGEST HIGHEST WAVE (published May 1, 2025), was named a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection—an honor given to fewer than 3% of traditionally published children’s books each year!
The Biggest, Highest Wave is out now! You can order from your local bookstore (I’ve included some of my locals), Bookshop.org, or Barnes and Noble with the direct links below.
