We're Sailing Down the Nile

Laurie Krebs draws inspiration for her books from her adventures around the world. She is a former teacher from Connecticut, USA, and a mother and grandmother. She is the author of many globe-trotting titles for Barefoot Books, including We All Went on Safari and Off We Go to Mexico! Anne Wilson gains much of her inspiration and sense of colour from her travels. She has an MA in Illustration from St. Martin’s College of Art, London, and has been illustrating children’s books for several years.

"Truly fabulous illustrations...It is important for our kids to learn that differences should be celebrated" -- Paml L. "As in Off We Go to Mexico and her other travelogues for youngsters, Krebs keeps the rhyming couplets simple and concise as she introduces a sampling of attractions... The artists presents a variety of settings, from farmers toiling along the shores to Cairo's colorful skyline, and reinforces the role of the Nile as central to Egyptian life, past and present." -- Publishers Weekly "Publishers Weekly"
