Elegance and Simplicity

An absolutely elegant presentation of the ocean's mystique. Together with spectacularly vivid photography and simple language, the author's offer a perspective of ocean life at spiritual level. The ocean is used to help children see the larger picture in life. At one point, to explain why a fish was lying on the beach, the mother said, 'Tides come and go. The ocean gives and takes.' " We found this kind of wisdom refreshing. It is rare to find a childrens' book that treat young minds with perfect respect. This book is indeed a treasure for positive parenting.
