Karen A. Wyle (kawyle) | 26 comments I'm thrilled to announce the release of what I believe I can fairly call a very special picture book: Wind, Ocean, Grass. The gorgeous impressionist paintings with which it's illustrated were done by Tomasz Mikutel.

Here's the cover. Wind, Ocean, Grass by Karen A. Wyle

Here's the description.

---
This unique picture book has neither human nor animal characters, but instead features the wind speaking to the grass, explaining how long grasses are both like and unlike the waves of the ocean. Through lyrical prose and breathtaking impressionist-style paintings, the reader follows the wind's journey over sea and land: the many moods of the ocean, the different seasons of the grassy field. We see glimpses of the birds that live off the bounty of the ocean, and the birds and flowers that live among the grasses.

Through this nature metaphor, the story, without becoming didactic, teaches children about seeing commonality and celebrating differences.

And here's the Amazon link! https://www.amazon.com/Wind-Ocean-Gra...

The book is out in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle editions, from Amazon (as noted) and many other retailers.

Happy reading!

Ok, I normally don't even read the posts in this thread, but this caught my eye. I used the Look Inside on Amazon, and I gotta say, this looks like a special book indeed.

Good luck!

Oh, they both look cute, too! I wish I had children or grandchildren with whom to share them.
