After a shipbuilder rescues an injured goose he finds in the swamp, a mysterious young woman arrives at his door looking for a job as a sailmaker. The sails she weaves are unparalleled in strength and beauty and the boats seem to fly beneath them. The shipbuilder falls in love with the beautiful woman and they get married. But when a rich man commissions a boat with a full set of the woman's special sails, they find their newfound happiness threatened by an astonishing secret. In this poignant story of loss and remembrance, Caldecott Honour winner Molly Bang presents a stunningly illustrated adaptation of the Japanese legend of the Crane Wife set in 19th Century New England.
