A bottle washes in from the sea, and inside is a message that must find its way home.
The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles lives alone on a hill, opening sea-borne letters and delivering them to the right people. He takes great care with every message, even though he quietly wishes that one might someday be meant for him. Then he finds an invitation with no name on it, and the mystery sends him searching through town for the person who belongs at the party.
Gentle, dreamy, and full of seaside wonder, this picture book invites you into a story about loneliness, kindness, and the surprising ways friendship can arrive.

Smoot the shadow has been living a yawn-filled life for years. His boy never laughs and never leaps, so Smoot never gets to do those things either. But everything changes the day Smoot pops free and decides to hit the road in search of the colorful life he dreams about. As he enjoys his very first day of singing, dancing, and playing, other shadows watch him and decide to become brave, too. The frog's shadow takes the shape of a prince, and the dragonfly's shadow transforms into a mighty dragon. Even a rock's shadow gets in on the excitement. Join Smoot on his joyous journey to find out what will become of the timid beings left behind and whether they will be inspired to find their own daring.
