Alice wakes before dawn every day to fish at Blue Lake. But she's not just a fisherwoman—she's the heartbeat of her village, always ready to help someone in need.

Everyone knows Alice. Everyone loves Alice. Her kindness touches every corner of the village, from the smallest child to the oldest elder.

But when life takes an unexpected turn, Alice discovers something she never anticipated. Sometimes the people we help the most aren't the ones who help us back. And sometimes the smallest act of kindness plants a seed that grows into something far more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

A boy. A basket of fish. And a bond that will teach both of them what family really means.

This touching tale shows young readers that true wealth isn't counted in coins, and the greatest gifts often come from the most unexpected places.

Perfect for families who believe one kind heart can change everything.
