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.

Let customers speak for us
I’m enjoying not blowing out my candles and having wax all over my table. The sniffer is so slim and modern. I love it.
Jillian Jackson's whimsical, witty and colourful seed cards always put a smile on the faces of those to whom I gift them. Not only are they whimsical, witty and colourful...they are plantable to boot!! Yes thy are plantable! A card that becomes a plant. How cool is that!!
Beautiful cards! Perfect for wedding favours for family visiting from other parts of Canada
I was on vacation and missing my cat back at home. I stopped in and picked the little kitty that resembles my beloved cat at home. Talk about a wonderful keepsake. When I got home my cat gave it a sniff and a quick bath. It's now proudly sitting on my shelf.
I love everything about this print - the ordinary subject made beautiful, the colour choices, and the common job of giving flowers a drink. Thank you for this joyful interpretation of ordinary life.
The prints are perfect. I can’t wait to hang them in my space.
Inkwell can be counted on to have unique and carefully curated cards, gifts, and tons of local artwork available. And 100% locally owned and operated.
They are the best emotional support chickens!
