Synopsis

The second picture book from American singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett and his daughter Savannah Jane, this time about a little girl who embarks on a daring adventure to rescue her father with the help of animal friends and a bit of Guatemalan tradition.

“A welcome blend of myth and reality, set in modern times but connected by folklore to the world of animals and magic.” —Publishers Weekly

When Lizzy Rhinehart’s father is lost in the Florida Everglades, she calls on the help of her golden retriever, tiny Guatemalan “trouble dolls,” and a magic blue macaw to save him before a ferocious storm begins. Trouble dolls, also known as worry dolls, come from the Guatemalan tradition of children speaking their worries to small, colorful dolls and placing those under a pillow at night. The dolls soothe the children during the night and, by morning, as the tradition explains, will grant the child the wisdom needed to address their fears and anxieties.

About the Author

Singer/songwriter/author Jimmy Buffett became a legend of popular culture as the composer of such classic songs as "Margaritaville" and "Cheeseburger in Paradise." He recorded more than thirty albums, most of which have gone gold, platinum, or multiplatinum, and his sold-out concert tours were an annual rite of summer for his fans. In addition to his musical credits, Buffett is also one of only six authors who have had number-one New York Times bestsellers in both fiction (Where Is Joe Merchant?) and nonfiction (A Pirate Looks at Fifty).
