The Ship in the Window
Travis Jonker
Mabel, a curious mouse, dreams of becoming a fearless sea captain and traveling the world. Nearby, the builder of a model ship keeps it protected indoors, proud of the vessel and unwilling to risk it. Mabel wants something different: to take the ship onto open water and sail it. The story brings together her desire for adventure and the owner’s wish to preserve the model, with hand-drawn, hatched illustrations depicting their contrasting hopes for the ship.
