A stunning picture book that addresses life's big journeys with hope, beauty, and reassurance A boy must leave his home and find another. He brings with him a teacup full of earth from the place where he grew up, and sets off to sea. Some days, the journey is peaceful, and the skies are cloudless and bright. Some days, storms threaten to overturn his boat. And some days, the smallest amount of hope grows into something glorious. At last, the boy finds land, but it doesn't feel complete . . . until another traveler joins him, bearing the seed to build a new home. With lyrical text and gorgeous artwork, this poignant picture book is perfect for discussing all of life's toughest challenges--a big move, a divorce, long-distance separation, or even the current refugee crisis--in a way that's reassuring and inspiring for children and adults alike.

a fond memory for me about tea is when we lived in Germany when i was a kid. we would do Volkmarches and along the way they would have refreshments of sandwiches and hot tea. the tea was some of the best i have had.

Loose-leaf Links is a feature where I gather together the interesting bits and pieces on sci-fi, fantasy and romance I've come across and share them with you over tea.

In today's news, the Australian Romance Readers Awards have been announced. And Cat Sparks & Amie Kaufman discuss the struggle SFF writers have getting published in Australia.

This beautiful book arrived in the library today. "Some days shine bright. Some days must wait for stars. Some days things can change with a whisper. And some days a speck can grow into something glorious."
This is the tale of a boy who must leave his home to find another and shows readers young and old that they can weather the journeys of life. (From the jacket)
I was happy to find this book on a dark day. ???

I loved this picture book so much I made it my "Staff Pick! Such a timely book considering the refugee situation and the uprootedness of so many in our world right now. A wonderful book for the classroom and a must for every household library in 2016.
