Ocean’s Child (2009)
David Díaz
Díaz’s warm pastel tones capture the beauty and tone of sunset as this story takes readers through a journey of watching the animals of the polar region prepare for nightfall. The painted images in this book echo the comforting tone of the text as a mother and her young child travel by boat to view the animal scenes on each page.
Among my favorite images in this story are the northern lights, the glowing, textured moon and the full page spread of a polar bear and her cubs. The yellow tone that surrounds both images shows the warmth that the moon, the bears, and other figures in the book radiate.
This book is a perfect bedtime story, taking readers through the “sea of quiet dreams” in the story.
