A Drop of the Sea

by Ingrid Chabbert
illustration by Guridi

Ali and his great-grandmother are close; they share their most heartfelt dreams. She tells him of her wish to see the sea, one which Chabbert’s text tells us is impossible given her age and failing health. Guridi’s evocative illustrations follow Ali as he sets out to fulfill her wish, and brings to life a story that perfectly speaks to the strong bond of love between generations.
