Publisher Description:
Fiction. Children's Literature. This is Cool Grove Press's first children's book, a story that provides a fresh direction for kids and adults dealing with loss. Aimed at kids 4-8, BILLY AND THE SECRET SHIP is about the loving connection between a boy and his grandfather. Vividly illustrated by Juliet Hitchner and laced with adventure, it transmits a powerful legacy to all who gain more than they could ever lose from those they love.

Throughout the years at bedtime, Billy's Grandpa spins tales while carving a woodenship. Over the years Billy always fell asleep before he could experience the full story. But one morning he wakes up to find he has to navigate the continuing adventure of the tales on his own.

...more than a book for kids. It's an artfully written, beautifully illustrated life lesson for us all on the magic of imagination, the poetry of dreams, and the lasting power of the bond between generations...--Marshall Karp
