In a little paper boat upon an enormous sea, a tiny snail sets out carrying nothing but his hopes, his dreams, and the courage to keep going.

As dark clouds gather and the waters grow cold, the Snail Scout is warned that some journeys are simply too great for creatures so small. But even with a trembling heart, he sails on.

Told in lyrical verse and accompanied by haunting, dreamlike illustrations, The Snail Scout is a quiet fable about courage, perseverance, and holding fast to hope when the world insists you should turn back.

For anyone who has ever felt small before something impossibly large—and kept going anyway.
