When great-grandmother was a little girl she lived in another country, in a house on a hill by the sea. One foggy day she went down to the sea and watched the birds and looked for treasure and saw a big ship covered with lights in the harbor. Years later, a ship just like the one she'd seen so long ago brought her to this country. And as great-grandmother tells her story, she gives Rosie a gift that she will keep forever. Great-grandmother's story-within-a-story is full of love and remembrance. The tenderness between great-grandmother and great-granddaughter shines brightly out of Ruth Bornstein's subdued pastel paintings, like ship lights on a foggy day.
