2017 Mildred L. Batchelder Award Winner
Renowned children's book creator Taro Gomi has created another
masterpiece. In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl
gazes out to where the water meets the sky and wonders what lies beyond
the waves. Boats filled with toys? Skyscrapers filled with people?
Houses filled with families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone
not so different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this
celebration of imagination's power, young readers will find joy in the
mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the just-beyond.
