Arabella — Wendy Orr

Matthew looked at the Arabella. She had tall slim masts and sails set to catch the wind, a polished wooden deck that shone like glass and a painted lady carved on her bow. She perched on Grandpa's windowsill as if she was ready to fly -- a small, perfect ship. Wendy Orr gently tells a story of flight and love -- and the relationship between a boy and his grandfather. With superb illustrations by award-winning illustrator Kim Gamble, this is an enchanting story and stunning collaboration as Wendy and Kim explore with loving detail the rarest treasure of all.
