Sea Creatures and Water as Life Source
A young otter learning to fish, singing clams hoping to return home in the sea, a blue whale in a little girl’s bedroom, and ancient turtles will capture children’s hearts and open their minds to the stories about water as life source, learning about rice farming in Bali, gathering wakame seaweed in Japan, and the impact of pollution on sea creatures everywhere.
