About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is facing a major life transition, such as moving to a new home or starting at a new school, and needs to see that bravery is possible even when things feel uncertain. Through a rhythmic, almost hypnotic poetic structure, it captures the physical and emotional weight of leaving the familiar for the unknown. While the setting is the 1630s, the heart of the story is universal: the resilience of a family sticking together through storms, cramped quarters, and fear. It is a gentle but honest introduction to the concept of immigration and the history of early America. For ages 4 to 8, it serves as a comforting reminder that even when the journey is long and the 'sails' are tattered, reaching a new destination is a shared triumph.
