Publisher Description:

A hopeful journey into the heart of a child as she heals her father's sadness at the loss of her mother

One Saturday morning, Daddy won't get out of bed. He misses Paula's mom. Paula misses her too, but she realizes that Mommy wouldn't want them to be sad forever. Paula knows just what to do. Taking out paper and paints, Paula creates a world of rolling seas, blue skies, and--best of all--a boat that she and Dad can sail together. And when the wind blows up a storm, Paula knows just what she and Daddy can do about that too.

In this sweet and poignant story about memory and overcoming grief, Sanne Dufft, the author/illustrator of The Night Lion, shows how a child's imagination can find a moment of joy and a safe place to land after a loved one is gone.

Contributor Bio(s): Dufft, Sanne: - Sanne Dufft was born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1974. She spent her school career decorating the margins of her exercise books and drawing portraits of her fellow pupils (who liked it) and her teachers (who didn't always...). She studied Art Therapy in Nürtingen, Germany, and worked with children with a variety of special needs (and special gifts) in Northern Ireland. She has gone on to work for a children's magazine and illustrated her first picture book, Der Sandelefant (The Sand Elephant), published by Urachhaus, Germany, in Spring 2015. Sanne lives with her husband and three children in beautiful Tübingen, in the South of Germany.
