I like this book because colors are differently laid out . The colors draw you in , complimenting the illustrations. The story illustrations are by the sea and has illustrations of older people(who lived their lives by the sea) . All the illustrations are done well until you get to the page with the “children’s dream”. That I thought fell short of the illustrator’s talents. I gave four stars because the story itself takes a child to what seems to fall short of being a helpful message . | |
