Ella lives in drought-stricken farming land a long way from the ocean. One night she dreams of the ocean although she has never seen it. She asks members of the family if they have seen the ocean which provides her with a range of answers. It’s not until she dreams again and asks Gran that Gran makes her dream come true. A story of hope and optimism beautifully illustrated by Jonathon Bentley and a winner in the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards 2020.
