Andrew Whitson is an award-winning artist and Belfast native who likes to be called Mr. Ando! He lives in an old house which is nestled discreetly on the side of a misty hill; at the edge of a magic wood, below an enchanted castle in the shadow of a giants nose. His house looks down over Belfast Harbour where the Titanic was built and up at the Belfast Cavehill where an American B-17 Flying Fortress bomber plane once crashed during World War II! Review Key Stage: KS1Subject area: Health and Wellbeing,Key themes: Family, faith, community -- Publisher: GraffegNearly every child, at some stage, has a favourite toy - that one totemic object, however grubby and tattered, whose loss would be unbearable. This lovely story makes powerful use of a childs emotional attachment. Mollys father is a seaman who has not returned after a great storm. Whilst the women of the village weep and pray, Molly prepares to bargain with the sea which has taken him by throwing into the water her most precious possessions. First to go are the pretty and rare cowrie shells which she has collected, but the sea remains impassive. Then she throws into it the picture of her father from her locket but although the sea is now calm, no ship comes into sight. Then there is only one more sacrifice she can make, her beloved doll, Megan. She tenderly gives it to the waves but this too is carried away and Molly is bereft. Yet hope does not desert her and she stays strong, watching and waiting until her fathers ship returns with its crew safe.The story is beautifully and lyrically told, with superb illustrations by Andrew Whitson, which reinforce the storys drama, suggesting the seas power and the strength of Mollys resolve. This is a story to which one could return again and again, to read aloud, share and cherish. -- Wendy Crockett @ Review Text Nearly every child, at some stage, has a favourite toy - that one totemic object, however grubby and tattered, whose loss would be unbearable.
