Description
When the sea whispers and the wind howls, Kasia’s heart finds its truest companion.
Kasia, a spirited girl from Poland, finds herself uprooted when her family relocates to Iceland. The new surroundings are nothing like what she’s used to. The island feels remote and isolated, and Kasia grapples with loneliness. She doesn’t speak the language, and the vast, unfamiliar landscape only amplifies her sense of isolation.
At first, Kasia’s days are filled with gray skies and confinement indoors. She yearns to be in a place where she can connect with nature and observe animals. But in Iceland, that proves challenging. Her mother shares stories of the creatures that inhabit the sea, but Kasia longs to see them for herself.
Then, as the weather clears, Kasia’s world brightens. She encounters a baby puffin named Lúlli. Through playful interactions and heartfelt conversations, Kasia's spirits soar. But just as Kasia finds joy in this newfound friendship, Lúlli begins to grow, and it becomes time for the puffin to move on. Kasia is once again faced with the ache of separation.
Despite her family’s efforts to lift her spirits by exploring different islands and locations, Kasia remains sad and lonely. Yet, it is not until they introduce her to a furry companion that Kasia's heart finds its true home. With the arrival of a puppy, Kasia learns to embrace her new surroundings and discovers the joy of belonging.
