In the deep blue waters of Lake Superior lies a tiny island shared by hummingbirds, rabbits, and a close-knit community of hardy fishing folk. Here in 1916 lives Carl, a young boy with a single, burning dream: to sail out on the water in a boat built with his own two hands. To make his dream come true, Carl begins bartering with his neighbors, trading his hard work for the parts and labor he needs. You will join him as he picks sweet strawberries, moves heavy stones, and carefully mends fishing nets as fine as lace. Along the way, Carl discovers that the islanders are closer than cousins, always ready to lend a helping hand. This tender story of sawing, nailing, and sanding reveals the beautiful power of teamwork and the quiet joy of making a dream set sail.
