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, empty-handed. But though her bag is empty and her pockets are bare, this is a girl who has found the greatest treasure of all . . .
A heartwarming story about embracing adventure and treasuring memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.
Robert started doodling characters when he was little, and just kind of kept going, filling paper, sketchbooks and school exercise books along the way. His books have been translated into twenty languages, and his debut, Fergal is Fuming!, was shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Award.
