So they set out to sea, Girl sailing on Dragon's back.

And when Girl and Dragon finally reach the farthest far-away, they still share a heart and the very same dream -- home. Randy Cecil's muted, dreamy artwork and Barbara Joosse's softly poetic words cast a comforting spell over imaginative explorers, leaving them safe with the knowledge that however far you go, there is nothing quite like coming home again with someone you love.
