In poetic language and soft watercolor illustrations, this gentle
lullaby of a tale evokes a story about finding refuge.
Escaping flames and barbed wire, a mother, a baby, a boy, and a dog flee
for their lives, climbing into a small sailboat to set off to sea. A
polar bear, too, has come adrift. When will they find land? Who will
welcome them in? Where will they call home? With lyrical narration and
child-friendly illustrations, Glenda Millard and Stephen Michael King
create a comforting and timely story about courage, endurance, and hope
-- and what we can be for one another.
