What does it feel like to arrive somewhere new and wonder if you'll ever belong?
When a beautiful blue sailboat sails into French Creek Harbour one sunny morning, Captain Dave and Larry the Lobster are quick to say hello. On board is Suki — a curious, notebook-carrying seven-year-old who has just moved up the coast with her family, leaving behind her best friend and everything familiar. She isn't sure she'll like French Creek. She isn't sure about much of anything yet. But over one remarkable day, Suki discovers cormorants with design flaws, a sculpin that looks just like a fisherman named Gerald, and a lobster who understands something about missing a place you used to call home. Set along the real shores of the Strait of Georgia, this gentle episode invites children and families to talk about new beginnings, the courage it takes to try somewhere new, and the way community shows up with fresh bread and blackberry jam from Denman Island. A warm, unhurried story for families anywhere on Vancouver Island — or anywhere that ever felt unfamiliar at first.
