Julie M says:
A powerful and moving story on the impact of family, immigration and home as told through the eyes of a child.
In this spare, poetic picture book based on the author's family history and told through a series of wishes, a family packs up everything they own and embarks on a perilous oceanic voyage toward a better life.

I work in youth services, and have loved children's literature ever since my own childhood introduced me to Charlotte's Web and every single Nancy Drew book published at the time. I especially enjoy picture books, historical fiction, mysteries and narrative nonfiction. When I'm not reading, I enjoy cooking and baking and outdoorsy things like birdwatching, hiking and kayaking.
