Okay. I've written a lot of books, but this new one is special!
I got to work on this with Yuko Green and my
friends at Island Heritage - always a treat to be sure.
Yuko has that ability to capture the truth and the fun
of an adventure like this one.........and it all began in Ohio.
If you read the book, you will see two kids setting out on
a summer adventure with their parents.
They travel to Alaska from Ohio and while away,
write postcards to their classmates back home in Pickerington
at Whalestreet Elementary!
Well.......Whalestreet is not just one school but a composite
of all the schools I have worked with in recent years
that connect with Dr. Mary Sheridan, Dr. Sharon Buda,
Larrie Habel, and the person I dedicated the book to,
Susan Pomerantz.
Together, we have introduced kids to the water world
and connected them to the distant ocean
in ways few can imagine
and
it would and hopefully will, take me a BIG BOOK
to explain.
Let's just say we have had fun getting kids out onto waters
and into some amazing art and ecology projects.
But wait.
