The Sea We Call Home
Two adorable gnomes head off for a seaside adventure in this joyous picture book that models appreciation and care for nature. Little Gnouf is so excited to see the ocean that he spends days reading about it before he and Mirabelle finally arrive to the blue waves stretching wide before them. A cry for help interrupts their reverie; they jump to a beached baby whale’s rescue. The help of other animals is enlisted, too, leading to an underwater adventure and a triumphant ending. Environmental trivia weaves into the story, whose delicate, teal-and-green-favoring illustrations are replete with causes for awe.
