Where the Wild Waves Go
One complete keepsake story: a question wakes Talia before the sun — where do the wild waves go? It leads her to a whole tiny world in a tide pool, a shell with a message, a shy new friend named Kaila, and a rain-swollen stream that dares her to build a bridge. Then it carries her — one push, one brave breath — out past the reef, where a wise green sea turtle shows her the answer. The story closes with a Think About It page: a warm reflection, three gentle questions to talk about together, and one tiny real-world challenge — so the lesson settles in long after the last page.
“Curiosity is a kind of courage — and the world rewards the ones who wonder.”
Talia is 7 in this story. A daring seven-year-old Polynesian girl who asks a hundred questions before breakfast. When you make it yours, the hero becomes your child — same name, same face, same big heart — illustrated to look just like them on every single page.
One complete story — not a two-page teaser
