Illustrated by: Emma FitzGerald
A love letter to the ocean, and to adapting to climate change, the newest picture book by award-winning creators Sal Sawler and Emma FitzGerald will inspire young readers to build better solutions, and communities.
A great storm is coming.
Gretchen loves the ocean. She dreams of going to the beach on her own, with no one to make her leave before she’s ready. But between whispers of oil, plastic, and a rising sea, her parents warn her not to underestimate the strength of the water. A great storm is coming and everyone, big and small, must prepare to meet it when it does.
Gretchen soon sees the ocean’s power firsthand when the tides rise high enough to threaten her home. Can she help her neighbours rebuild after the storm is over, or is the damage too great?
With a strong message of community-building and climate activism, this charming debut children’s picture book from celebrated author Sal Sawler and award-winning illustrator Emma FitzGerald will inspire young readers to rebuild better, together.

I love the RH card with the pomegranates. Especially this year, a year after the worst attack on the Jewish people since the Holocaust,it wa s very meaningful to be able to find and send cards for the Jewish new year - this one is very sweet and I was so happy to have it to send to special people in my life - thank you!
Cute and colourful - meant to give it away as a gift but kept it instead!
Purchased as a gift and my sister adored it. Nice attention to detail - very soft and cute!
