I loved this book from the moment I saw the front cover!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The fierce little woman lived in a house at the end of the jetty. She knitted socks in blue and green wool to sell to sailors who got their feet wet. She played bagpipes to the seagulls, swam in the sea, and fished through a hole in the floor.\u00a0 <\/strong>One stormy day, a pirate came to the house on the jetty. He started tap-tap tapping on the window...<\/strong><\/p>\n

A beautiful story of how to ask a question, of how never to give up, and how to let others know if you're not feeling as brave as you appear.<\/p>\n
