| book description |

This is the girl who was left on the shore, Given so little, yearning for more. This is the boat she dragged out to sea, Scruffy and scratched but strong as can be... This is the story of a daring young girl who lives in a fishing village with her nana and little cat. Every day, villagers see her set out to sea on a small green boat - cat in tow - and every night, they watch her return home, emptyhanded. But though her knapsack is empty, and her pockets are bare, this is a girl who has treasure to share. From stories of venturing through miniature islands and luminous waters, passing mysterious ships and meeting curious creatures and thundering whales, this is the girl who has brought back the most wonderful treasures of all for her nana: memories.
