The smells of the sea air + the sounds of distant bell buoys

As I read this lovely book, I felt transplanted back to an island I grew up on. Ms Stewart writes with a beautiful grasp of how words can evoke sensory response. I felt I could feel the light mist of the sea on my arms and hear a gull above me. The delicately detailed ink drawings complemented almost every page. I'm so glad the author wrote this.Ripp Campbell Washington
