Description
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.
Stunningly illustrated and lyrical, this picture book feels fresh yet enduring, and is a reminder of how reaching out to others can change everything.
