“Far away in the deep blue sea . . .”

For one little girl this is how all stories begin. They are family stories of her mother’s childhood on a small island with a pebbly shore. And now the little girl is going to that island. It is her first visit, but in all the ways that matter she is going home.

Acclaimed author-illustrator Manya Stojic shows us how shared stories and memories bind a family together. And we witness the magical moment when this youngest member of the family makes the stories her own.
