A young girl stands at the ocean's edge, her mind swirling with possibilities. What mysteries lie beyond the horizon? Are there boats with toys, towering skyscrapers, or families in distant homes? As she imagines, she wonders if someone just like her is gazing back. Dive into a world where imagination knows no bounds and the unknown beckons with endless possibilities.
2017 Mildred L. Batchelder Award Winner Renowned children’s book creator Taro Gomi has created another masterpiece. In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this celebration of imagination’s power, young readers will find joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the just-beyond.
