Wisdom from the Waters is an easily digestible, charming collection of inspiration and breezy, bright watercolors. Author Jake Townsend imagines what our friends in the oceans, lakes, and streams would tell us if only we could speak the same language: an octopus urges us to look for help when our hands are full, a crustacean reassures us that everyone gets a little crabby (just don't make a habit of it!), and an orca challenges us to spread our fins. Wisdom from the Waters is a source of warm encouragement and a lovely way to show someone you care.
