The Storm Season: New Fables from Juno Beach - Illustrated

Thirty-one new fables. Thirty-two full-page ink plates. One storm season on Juno Beach. The Storm Season returns to the Golden Shore - the stretch of Florida sand between Jupiter Inlet and the Juno Beach pier, one of the busiest sea-turtle nesting beaches in the world - for the months when the sky goes dark at three in the afternoon and the sand rearranges itself overnight. Loggerheads, crabs, shorebirds, whelks: each fable is short enough to read aloud in one sitting and ends with a moral you can carry down to the water. Written in the spirit of Aesop and set among the real animals of Palm Beach County, these are stories for children ages 5 to 12 and for whoever is reading to them. The book closes with an original epilogue, "The Rake and the Wrack Line," all thirty-one morals gathered in one place, and a naturalist's afterword on the real creatures behind the stories. Book 2 of Fables of the Golden Shore. It stands alone - no need to have read The Golden Shore first. Read them out loud. That's how they were meant to be heard.
