In this beautiful testament to wondering, a young girl gazes out to where the water meets the sky and wonders what lies beyond the waves. Boats filled with toys? Skyscrapers filled with people? Houses filled with families? Or, maybe, over the ocean stands someone not so different from the girl herself, returning her gaze. In this celebration of imagination's power, young readers will find joy in the mystery of the faraway, the unknown, and the just-beyond.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Readers can enjoy not just the explicit questions but ones raised by tiny details.\"              \u003cstrong\u003e-Publishers Weekly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"Makes for smooth sailing and good reading.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--BookPage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"The llustrations look simple but can still say so much.\"\u003cstrong\u003e--Geek Dad\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"With sharp shapes and a riot of color, the prolific Gomi's simple premise should spark young imaginations.\"\u003cstrong\u003e-Kirkus Reviews\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\"A warm, inviting, and meditative celebration of imagination and wonder.\"-\u003cstrong\u003eBooklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTaro Gomi \u003c\/strong\u003ehas created more than 350 books for readers of all ages, including \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eBus Stops\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eMy Friends\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eSpring Is Here\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eScribbles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e, and \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eDoodles\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.
