by G. E. (George Edward) Farrow
Three curious siblings awaken to a sudden tide that has turned their kitchen into a miniature sea. With quick thinking, they transform an overturned table into a makeshift boat, appointing themselves captain, passenger, and bosun. As they glide through the flooded garden, familiar surroundings become surreal—rosebushes sprout from water and household objects drift past like islands.
Their unexpected companion is a peculiar bird with an oddly shaped beak, webbed feet, and a bright blue bow, who speaks as plainly as any human. The creature’s quirky personality hints at a hidden world of wonder waiting just beyond the ordinary. Together, the children set off on an adventure that blends imagination, friendship, and the promise of discovering something truly extraordinary.
