Silver Boat

The Silver Boat is a magical, beautifully illustrated fairy tale that will delight children of all ages. It describes the journey that all of must take in order to leave our pain behind and reach the healing place of "the warm and sunny land". Much like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz", this tale of empowerment teaches the lesson that the power lies within the "little girl" herself to overcome her fears, conquer the dragon, and achieve her dreams.
