A Pod of Orcas
Sheryl McFarlane

Fitzhenry and Whiteside, 2006

A beautiful new counting book by an award-winning author! There is so much to count at the seashore - one lighthouse, two freighters, three eagles - and on and on, until you get to ten. Then a pod of orcas explodes out of the sea - so many, you can't begin to add them up. But wait. At the end of the day, you can count from ten all the way down again, as ten sailboats, nine fishboats, eight beach umbrellas - and on and on - gradually ...

Moonsnail Song

Poetic, scientific, artistic, and graceful.
Awesome for anyone - adult or child - who has ever found a moonsnail shell, or gone beachcombing in the Pacific Northwest. Poetic daydreaming meets real scientific information in an unusual way. I own lots of adult beach books, but this book is how I identified my moonsnail eggcases.

Grandparents are special
"Waiting for the Whales" was an inspiring picture story book about the death of a man who was quietly admired by his grand daughter and daughter. His interests and values were honest, respectful and sincere. After his death, they watch at their window overlooking the ocean, for the orcas to return, thinking about his love of the whales and the special bond he had with them.

As an artist and illustrator, I have to say the illustrations are very well executed, fun and fresh, the characters are expressive and fun to look at, and quality and visual composition is ...
