"Drawn to the horizon since she was small, the heroine of this story longs to discover what lies beyond it. She builds herself a boat, with the help of her parents, who know they cannot keep her on the little island they call home. With courage, joy, and the gift of the most brilliant of swords from her parents, she sets off. Beautifully illustrated, this immersive book celebrates the great joys of the voyage itself. It captures the experience of finding your own way in the world, and letting your child do the same. The voyage is a tribute to living beyond fear, of leaving home, and returning to it"-- Provided by publisher.
