a special place in my heart
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
My mother and I are the characters in this book. Virginia, the illustrator was a friend of my mother's. I remember the chilly fall afternoons running around in my bathing suit while Ginny took photos of us. This book will always have a special place in my heart, as Ginny was illustrating it when my father was in the last stages of his cancer and it documents a stressful time in my family's history. Sheila Cole writes a sweet story that offers an introduction to underwater life to young children, and Ginny's use of watercolor is beautiful. There is a glossary of sealife in the back, so it is also a nice fieldguide for children. I give it as a baby shower gift whenever I can, though it is getting increasingly more difficult to find new. Though I am obviously biased, I highly recommend it as an addition to any child's library.
