The Island
T0
Adapted by Laura Lomas from the powerful and beautiful illustrated book for children by Armin Greder, The Island explores what happens when a lonely stranger is washed up on the beach of an isolated island. Neither understands the other's language, and all are suspicious of what he brings to the island. Except the fisherman. He argues that the man should be integrated into the community and help with their daily lives, but all refuse, even the priest. The people are frightened, and eventually there is no other solution but to cast him back into the sea and build a wall around their little piece of land. Designed for 9-12 year olds
