The Wreck of the Zephyr by Chris Van Allsburg
At the edge of a cliff lies the wreck of a small sailboat. Waves carried it up in a storm, says an old sailor. There is another story - the story of a boy and his desire to be the greatest sailor, the story of a storm that carried the boy and his boat to a place where boats glide like gulls high above the water.
