Synopsis

We live in a world where new technologies are invented daily and the tools with which we interact, learn and live are ever-changing. Yet, one remarkable fact remains certain; that we exist at the mercy of Mother Nature and are forever awestruck by the humbling power and natural beauty, by which she affects us each and every day. Where Albatross Soar was inspired by that fascinating truth - written with the hope of encouraging our children to appreciate and explore the great outdoors for generations to come. This unique story takes the reader on an enchanting journey through the mind’s eye of a young, inquisitive child, who is particularly curious about waves and those all-powerful storms that create them. Written in rhythm with the sea, this beachside story is sure to become a favorite of your family. "With so much to explore and learn, from our vast oceans to our own backyards, I hope Where Albatross Soar inspires you to get out there, ask questions and discover the world around you. What does nature have planned for you today?" - Bryan Knowles (Author of "Where Albatross Soar" and "Surf Poetry")

About this title

About the Author:

Originally from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, Bryan Knowles has been obsessed with all things aquatic for as long as he can remember. “I’ve always loved the outdoors, but something about the ocean in particular and just being in the water makes me feel complete, alive and at peace. Nothing else compares.” A passionate writer and craftsman, Bryan began making his own fishing lures, flies and skateboard ramps around age ten. By thirteen, he picked up surfing and a year later made his first surfboard. Bryan wrote his college application essay about board building and was accepted to Stanford University. Bryan graduated in 2006 with a degree in neuro-psychology and sub-concentration in entrepreneurship. From there he worked as a marketing consultant in Los Angeles and San Francisco for a few years, before deciding to focus on his true passions - writing and board building - launching a surfboard company called Ride Anything (www.RideAnything.com) in 2010. Bryan now resides in San Clemente, California and when he’s not in the water or the shaping room, he’s likely putting the beauty of surfing and nature into words, or sharing Where Albatross Soar with children all over the country.
