About this title

Synopsis:

One stormy night a draggled heap of scales and feathers is flung up on the beach. The sea-thing child is afraid of the wild waves and the storm skies. He meets a fiddler crab with no bow. They help each other to avoid facing their fears but finally he finds his star, his courage and his ocean self.

Review:

A truly moving tale about discovering who you are and where you belong, enhanced by superbly moodly artwork. * Scotland On Sunday * A lovely, lovely story told in a quirky and rather beautiful way. * Children's Books in Ireland *
