I Want to Build a Seahouse : Nimbus Publishing Limited : 9781774711491 : 1774711494 : 03 Apr 2023 : I want to build a seahouse A place that's just for me... In a lighthouse on the sea lives a young girl who is about to become a big sister. Trouble is, she doesn't want a little sister. With her peaceful life disrupted, the girl's only option is to run away?and build her very own seahouse! With a foghorn for a doorbell and a fence of fishing rope, windows made of sea glass, buoys to help it float ? and a pirate flag for safety (of course), she'll have everything she needs. The girl imagines all of the adventures she'll have, talking parrot in tow: harvesting seaweed from her garden; telling ghost stories to merfolk; charting the tides and sailing by moonlight. But there's a loneliness that creeps in whenever she thinks of her family back on land. And there's those pesky stormy seas to consider... A poetic ode to the childhood yearning for freedom, sprinkled with new-sibling jealousy,
