The joy of storytelling transcends generations in this magical depiction of a grandfather sharing his life stories with his captivated grandson. Grandpa shares his tales of travelling across continents, each time gathering more stories to fill his luggage, as he returns to the ocean when it calls to him. Each time his grandpa visits a new continent, he falls in love all over again as he explores the new wonders of each land. Until the day he reaches America, his final and true love, the only place that could keep him from returning to the sea.Â

Poetically written by Stella Elia, who takes you on a journey around the globe in search of peace and happiness.
