Description

Nobody smiled in the village near the edge of the world. The wind blew cold, snow lay thick on the ground and each day the villagers went about their lives with heavy hearts. That was until the day Toby McPhee sailed out to the very edge of the world and found just what was needed to bring joy back to their lives.

Reviews

This would make an excellent picture book to treat with older primary kids. I believe the story will touch kids' hearts and lead to some productive discussion about tragedy, how it affects us and what we can do to move on from its devastating consequences. * The Book Chook * I felt like I was holding my breath looking at the illustrations, waiting for something to happen to the village men out on the seas, so real is their representation. * ReadPlus *
