From the Publisher:

A child and his beloved best friend go on a grand sea adventure in this magical picture book by the author and artist who created If I Had a Little Dream.

You just never know what a new day will hold if you are brave enough to find out. On one quiet afternoon, a boy and his special friend’s unexpected adventure bring joy and excitement and sights never imagined. And the best part of any adventure is returning home with stories to tell and you best friend at your side.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one is short and lyrical, but it still tells a delightful little story. The rhyming text flows easily, and the illustrations are detailed and dreamy. It’s a fun pick for summer, especially if your kids like boats, sea creatures, or gentle adventure with a happy ending.
