Far away in a mountain kingdom lives Isola, a little princess who longs for the sea. "No one from here has ever BEEN to the sea!" laughed her sisters, the royal advisors, and the ladies of the court. "It's ridiculous, impossible...forget about it!"

But sometimes, the dreams that seem the hardest ones to find...

...are the ones that find you.


An original fairy tale
of a child's unquenchable spirit
and the unknown world
over the horizon.
For children ages 5-9

From the "Midwest Book Review"
Rhett Ransom Pennell's fun drawings enhance this story of Isola, a little princess who longs for the sea. No one is successful in bringing the sea to her, until an old sailor entices Isola to leave her mountain home and sail away. Large whimsical bright pictures and easy text invite reader attention to this fairy tale.
