About the book

The story

Across an icy sea, music brings Molly, Adeer and a fish-loving penguin together aboard a little boat.

Why is grass growing on a name? Can a sleeping stone speak?

Set sail with them and discover the stories ancient words have carried through thousands of years.

一缕琴声飘过冰海,茉莉、艾迪儿和一只爱吃鱼的企鹅,在小船上相遇了。

名字里为什么会长出小草?沉睡的石头,真的会开口说话吗?

跟着他们一起远航,听古老的文字讲述那些穿越千年的故事。
