Summary
At the edge of a cliff lies the wreck of a small sailboat. How did it get there? Waves carried it up in a storm, says an old sailor. But is it possible that waves could ever go that high?
There is another story—the story of a boy and his desire to be the greatest sailor, the story of a storm that carried the boy and his boat to a place where boats glide like gulls high above the water.

“This delightful picture book is a real gem. Its haunting pastel illustrations glow, and its ambiguous and finely written story encourages readers to wonder” – Marilyn Brocklehurst * Booksellers’ Choice, The Bookseller *
“Beautifully descriptive prose … The sophisticated storyline makes this a tale for thoughtful and reflective older readers” * Carousel *
