Description:

A small island sits alone in the middle of the wide ocean — and through the turning of the four seasons, it experiences a whole world of its own. The winds blow, the birds fly, the tides rise and fall, and all the flora and fauna above and below the water carry on their quiet lives. Then one day a curious little kitten arrives by sailboat and explores the island, and through a gentle conversation (with a little help from a fish), the kitten learns the island's secret: how something so small can also be a part of the whole great world. Written by Goodnight Moon author Margaret Wise Brown (under her pen name Golden MacDonald) and winner of the 1947 Caldecott Medal for Leonard Weisgard's luminous illustrations, this is a lyrical, timeless picture book about nature, faith, and belonging.
