A gentle world with something meaningful to say.
Orla folds a paper whale from a page she cannot finish reading. At midnight, it grows large enough to carry her beyond the bedroom ceiling and into an ocean made of stars.
Together they sail through unfinished tales and islands drawn in ink. To find the way home, Orla must add her own words to the sky and trust that imagination can begin before everything is known.
A dreamy bedtime adventure about creativity, curiosity, and the confidence to begin.
Made to be read together
Wonder for children.
Room for conversation.
Created as a richly illustrated read-aloud experience for children ages 3–7 and the grown-ups who share stories with them.
