"Like the ocean itself, this book sparkles on the surface while containing immense depth below. Following a young boy over the course of a lifetime, Camille Andros’ story ebbs and flows with a comforting rhythm while Amy Bates’ timeless artwork washes over you. As the boy grows older, he returns regularly to the sea looking for answers but discovers something more valuable: perspective. As an author, I desperately wish I had written this book myself, but I’ll happily settle for cherishing it as a reader. (For ages 4 to 8)"
