Skipper Chip and Captain Jax is a picture book that shares the journey these two best friends take when one of their ships sinks. They try several unique and hilarious approaches to solve their “one-ship” problem until they discover an unexpected answer. I see it as a combination of the setting of Swashby and the Sea and the spirit of After the Fall. This message highlights creative problem-solving and perseverance based on a strong friendship and stands out in the current picture book market.
