A beautiful and timely story about turning fear into courage, from Global Illustration Excellence Award winner, Britta Teckentrup.

A beautiful and timely story about turning fear into courage, and a reminder that though we may face our fears alone, we’re all in this together.

Ella sits alone in a boat, battling waves so high they touch the sky. A bodiless voice beneath the surface of the sea tells her it is hopeless, she’ll never find land, she’ll never be safe... But there are kind voices at sea too - ones that offer encouragement, support and the promise of hope.

With the kindness of a small white bird, a lesson from a pod of porpoises and the support of a gentle whale, Ella finds her courage and discovers she was never alone.
