Publisher's Synopsis
Hauntingly beautiful watercolors enhance this extraordinary story about the power of storytelling, kindness, and hope
Bambert lives alone in his attic home. He feels out of place in the world, isolated by his physical disabilities, and finds solace in the characters he creates in his stories. One day, he decides to send his 11 stories out into the world, to find their own true setting. He attaches them to paper balloons and sends them out on a windy night. The 11th story is blank. Bambert hopes it will write itself. Gradually the stories return, with postmarks from all round the world. But Bambert's life-work is not complete until the return of the 11th story, the fate of which is still unknown.
