Summaries and Reviews
Summary
A man who lives simply by the sea explores the shore each day for its treasures which ease and enrich his life, and in the evening creates gifts which he gives to the sea in return.
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Living in a "home hand-built" on the Alaskan coast, the man who "trades with the sea" combs the silent dawn beaches each morning for driftwood and cast-off items. For this quiet man, each find has its own story, its own past and dignity. Every day after gathering his treasure - and leaving behind those gifts "that are best never held" - he returns home where he carves a small figure from the driftwood, a gift for the sea. This beautiful - and beautifully illustrated - story is a quiet hymn celebrating man and nature in harmony. Children and ecology-minded adults alike will find much to enjoy in Shannon's spare text and Azarian's elegant woodcut art.
