Description:

When a sudden flood sweeps an elderly lady and her devoted cat right out of their cosy little home, they could very easily despair. But not this lady! As her cottage bobs along down rushing rivers, out into the wide blue ocean, and eventually all the way across the world to China, she greets every soggy, surprising, and frankly impossible turn of events with the same cheerful smile. A wet armchair? Lovely for cooling off. A floating teapot? Perfect for catching rainwater. New languages, strange landscapes, sudden storms? All wonderful adventures! Through her sunny, unwavering attitude, this gentle classic by Pat Decker Tapio, with charming illustrations by the legendary Paul Galdone, quietly reminds young readers that even when life sends a flood our way, we always get to choose how we look at it. A heartwarming, hopeful picture book for every weathered day.
