Summary
A young girl follows her mothers gift of a yellow ball through the face of a mantel clock into a world where winged travelers must walk. All those with wheels get to ride. Logic and sequence are forgotten in this journey where a door opens softly as an egg to reveal a farmer planting the yellow ball for a harvest of golden things. Lost objects are found: a dropped needle and a card, pennies and puzzle pieces, and the stars and sheep/my mother counts to fall asleep. Finally, a steamship sails into view on a painted sea, manned by the farmer, now the King of Keys, who tosses the yellow ball back into the reality of the childs home
