The
adventures of John Storm and the Elizabeth
Swann. John Storm is an ocean
adventurer and conservationist. The Elizabeth Swann is a fast solar
powered boat. During a race around the world, news of the sinking of a
pirate whaling ship reaches John Storm and his mate Dan Hawk. They
decide to abandon the race and try and save the whale, in what turns out
to be a rescue mission with a happy ending.
This
is a proposal for an illustrated story book for children, where the
chapter sequence is simplified, to cater to a younger audience. We'll
be aiming for one page of large text, and one illustration (aiming for 270mm x 210mm print
landscape) per story page, alternating, so that text describing the
story is followed by a picture to help the youngsters imagine what is
happening.

For
story development purposes, the above is a Road Map guide for artists
and writers with short descriptions for the graphic novel. Below is the
full text for the same chapters, to help imagine the associated
illustration(s) for a shorter children's book of around 36 pages, to
include 18 illustrations, plus cover art.
