Description

A bright‑eyed three‑year‑old named Sunny is about to experience a rare adventure with her parents, who have managed to slip a brief holiday into their busy lives. The narrative follows her eager preparations, from chatter with visitors to the whimsical belief that she’ll sail a “puff‑puff” across unfamiliar waters and catch a huge salmon in Scotland. Through gentle humor and tender illustration, the story captures the simple honesty of a child who tells the truth without pretense, while also revealing her fleeting moments of mischief and the quick, loving corrections that keep her world bright.

The opening journey introduces a world beyond Sunny’s river‑less home—a landscape of boats, tall mountains, and unfamiliar sounds that spark both wonder and nervous excitement. As she steps aboard the modest vessel, her vivid imagination turns the ordinary into an extraordinary expedition, inviting listeners to share in the warmth of family, the charm of childlike curiosity, and the comforting rhythm of a lovingly told day‑in‑the‑life adventure.
