When questioned about the wreck of a small sailboat found on the edge of a high cliff, an old sailor tells a strange tale of a proud young boy who wanted to be the world's greatest sailor; he also tells of a mysterious storm that carried the boy and his boat to a place where boats glide like seagulls high above the water. Full color paintings emphasize imaginative uses of forms within space. Honor Book, CCBC Caldecott Straw Vote. (Ages 4-11)
