Excerpt:
One wild wet morning, high in the hills and far away, a baby was born.
Her mother wrapped her in a new red scarf and laid her in a carved wooden
cradle to keep her warm and safe.
Then the valley rocked and the mountains thundered. A roaring river burst
from the heart of the hills, sweeping fields and forests, carts and
cottages, down to the sea. The baby's cradle became a boat, and she laughed
as it leapt down the raging waters. read more

Description:
Poppy doesn't fit into the pretty painted village where she lives. 'There's
a whole world waiting to be explored, and if I can cross the river, and
climb the mountain, I'll find the path that's right for me.'
Her quest begins with an adventure, is filled with storytelling, and ends
with friendship.
