One summer Jesse went to the beach and discovered she loved playing in the waves. Sadly she had to go back home where she lived far from the ocean. One day a large box arrived for her - and inside was some of the ocean! It flooded her house and her town so that Jesse had to convince the ocean to go back to the beach.
Fun story with beautiful illustrations.

This is such a sweet story about how the ocean is so complex it's like it has a personality! Jesse is a loving girl who appreciates the effort the ocean makes to see her, and forgives it for the mess it makes. It's fun and heartwarming.

This was my favourite book as a small child. My mother or father read to me every night and I think about this book in particular very often. I think it may be the reason I ended up being a marine biologist.

This book is about a girl named Jesse and her relationship with an ocean. I really think this book is awesome story about friendship. The best grade level for this book would have to be about 1st to 2nd grade. I would highly recommend this for anyone, great bed time story too.
