The fictional story of a boy caught in the aftermath of the tsunami. The narrative simply follows the feelings of a child as he tries to comprehend the horror of the experience and the bewilderment that follows. Warm photographs of the sea, the sand, shells, children, the colours of the coastline, and crayon lines weave through the book which attempts to offer a way of healing for those devastated by calamities, and a way of understanding for those who watch from a distance. It deliberately shuns the use of photographs of the devastation; instead it presents images that lift the spirit, and reinforce the bond between water and sand and child. The book takes the reader beyond the story of one child, on to the universal themes of hope and friendship.
