Overview

A imaginative picture book about how the power to change our world lies within ourselves.

Caspian lives in a lighthouse surrounded by a cold gray-blue sea. Every day, he watches, wishing for a friend. But no one comes. So, Caspian decides that wishing is not enough. What follows is a friendship story that is tender, warm, and perfect for gift-giving.

"A lonely little boy wishes for a friend and bravely takes steps to find one in Jacqueline Véissid and Merrilees Brown's dreamlike picture book."—Shelf Awareness

"A quote by Rumi ("What you seek is seeking you") sets the stage for this gentle story about friendship and longing. Beautiful illustrations and a sweet story warrant purchase of this dream-like adventure, perfect for bedtime and small group sharing." —School Library Journal

"The striking, stylized art and text work perfectly together to create a whimsical, nonthreatening story that still has plenty of action and adventure-with the bonus of not one interfering grown-up... Bedtime or naptime perfection."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review
