What is Grey Island, Red Boat about?

On the gloomy Island of Ashes, everything is grey and Princess Opal longs for change. Then Wendell arrives in a bright red boat, bringing a strange gift: everything he touches bursts into colour. The islanders are delighted, but Opal’s suspicious father, the King, fears Wendell’s power and locks him away. Determined to help, Opal risks the King’s anger and sets out to free Wendell. Together, they discover that love, courage and hope can transform even the dullest world.
