Publisher's Summary
Molly wakes one morning to find her house empty. Her father has been out fishing in stormy seas and hasn’t returned from his trip.
She takes her most precious possessions down to the harbour; a brass locket containing twenty little cowrie shells, a photograph of her father and her beloved doll to offer the sea in return for her father’s safety.
But will the stormy sea return her father and all the other fathers from the fishing trip?
Written by Malachy Doyle and illustrated by Andrew Whitson.
Critic Reviews
"Timeless and heart-warming, this tale speaks of love, sacrifice and hope. Doyles’ pitch-perfect writing pull us through the story with gentle, soothing tones inspiring the reader to look deeper, go further. Great care and consideration is given to depicting a vignette of the life of this small island girl. Using clear, concise language, he weaves the story with just the right amount of drama and nuance and conveys a message that everything will be all right. The stunning pictures by Whitson lend mood and atmosphere, with the use of light and colour adapting to each page. The effect is simply magical. This is a wonder of a book; perfectly illustrated and loving told; one you will want to read and share again and again." —Mary Esther Judy, Children’s Bookseller
