In this story an Island girl can hear music in the ocean — not as a metaphor, but as melodies, percussion, harmonies ringing from the waves. She tries to find someone else in the town who can hear what she hears, but everyone is toonoisy and busy to pay attention. When a giant storm comes to her town, it makes an enormous cacophony — and in the silence afterwards, when the townspeople finally put down their work and come down to the water’s edge, the girl finally meets a friend who can hear the music too. With lyrical words and beautiful illustrations, The Sea that Sings to Me is an ode to the specialconnection we have with the natural world.

Born and raised in beautiful Prince Edward Island, Kara Griffin grew up in a small rural community on the North Shore. Her writing is inspired by her love for nature and animals. Her hopeful stories celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature and invite us to see and understand the world through our hearts. She lives in Charlottetown with her charming cat, Amelia. The Sea That Sings To Me is her debut children's book. Visit www.karagriffinstories.com
