From the publisher

Ida and her family live on an island farm off the west coast of Canada. One busy spring morning, Ida’s mother asks her to take some freshly baked bread to their neighbors. Ida’s brother thinks she’s too young to go alone. She isn’t even big enough yet to help with the spring sheep run. But when Ida outsmarts a gang of sheep smugglers, everyone knows she’s ready for new responsibilities. Ann Blades’s distinctive watercolors perfectly complement this heartwarming tale.
