The Uncorker of Ocean Bottles by Michelle Cuevas

4.0

Beautiful, both visually and as a story about finding friendship. The uncorker of ocean bottles is nameless and friendless, but apparently offers a vital service to his seaside community. Day in and day out he delivers messages to others, and only through an undirected bottle does he finally explore the depth and richness of his community.

I included the Michigan tag because of the Michigan illustrator, who was apparently inspired by Fishtown. I found that nugget of backstory to add an extra layer of richness to the story.
