Why read it?
1 author picked Water Sings Blue as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
To me, this book feels like a walk along the beach. I pick up each poem, sink into the swirls and splashes of color, and let my mind wander. Books that encourage such meandering strolls near the ocean have a special place in my heart: the idea for my horseshoe crab book started on just such a walk. Water Sings Blue is a great reminder that you never know what wonders you will discover when you go outside and let your curiosity guide you.
From Lisa's list on water and the amazing creatures that live there.
