Synopsis

This charming illustrated gift book encourages us to live happily on simpler terms. We are reminded to ''float'' and ''make a splash,'' to ''ebb and flow'' and ''run with waves'' or ''laugh like a gull''; to ''sugar yourself with sand,'' to ''walk tender'' and to ''thank.'' This book by author/illustrator Sandy Gingras is the first of seven in her very popular and uniquely inspirational ''How To Live'' series.

About this title

From the Back Cover:

We often need "How To" books to remind us of what we already know. Maybe that's why we need islands too -- to remember ourselves. To remember how tenuous and miraculous we are.. how we're out-to-sea, surrounded by horizons...how we9re, at once, fragile and possible.
