Willie and Lucy are buzzing with excitement as their mother announces a summer trip unlike any they’ve ever known. Leaving behind familiar sea‑sides and countryside, the siblings will venture to a lakeside village in Switzerland, where towering Alpine peaks promise new horizons for their playful imaginations. The story opens with Willie’s eager questions about mountains, snow‑capped heights, and the mysterious Lake Geneva, setting the tone for a gentle adventure that blends curiosity with the wonder of a foreign land.
As the children prepare for their journey, the narrative captures the simple joys of childhood—climbing imaginary hills, racing with a dog, and sharing secrets with a beloved doll. Along the way they will board a steamer, meet new faces, and begin to explore the crisp, fragrant world of Alpine valleys. The first act offers a warm, lively portrait of anticipation, inviting listeners to accompany Willie and Lucy as they set sail toward the majestic mountains that await them.
