Bookroo's summary

Every summer, a little blue cottage eagerly awaits the girl's return, sharing sunny days and stormy nights. But one year, she doesn't come back, leaving the cottage longing and empty. What happened to the girl, and will she ever return? This touching tale explores the beauty of cherished places and the changes time brings.

From the publisher

The little blue cottage waits each year for summer to arrive―and with it, the girl. Through sunny days and stormy weather, the cottage and the girl keep each other company and wile away the long days and nights together. Until one year, and then another, the cottage is left waiting and empty season after season.

In this heartfelt story about change, Kelly Jordan’s lilting text and Jessica Courtney-Tickle’s lush art captures the essence of cherishing a favorite place.
