The mission is simple: bring Firelight Bay a cloud in a jar. But the journey is anything but. Readers will delight in the storys twists, turns, and unexpected solutions - from a sail of patchwork handkerchiefs to a net crafted from recycled cell phone chargers that saves a beached whale.

With captivating illustrations and whimsical yet delightfully intricate rhyming text reminiscent of classic childrens poetry, this seafaring quest is one young readers will not soon forget.
