Reach for this book when your child is standing on the precipice of a new challenge and needs to see that bravery is something you build, not something you are born with. It is a perfect fit for a young reader who feels small in a big world or who is beginning to crave more independence and responsibility. Set against the backdrop of a 19th-century whaling expedition, the story follows Otis as he transitions from a nervous beginner to a capable member of a ship's crew. It balances the grit of historical labor with the wonder of the natural world. Through Otis's eyes, children learn that being scared is a natural part of any great adventure and that perseverance is the key to finding one's place in a community.
