Book Title: My Friend, the Sea
Desc:

This is the fictional story of a boy caught in the aftermath of the tsunami that hit several countries on December 26, 2004. It could also be the story of any child  whose life is closely linked  with nature.
The narrative simply follows the feelings of the child as he tries to comprehend the horror of the experience and the bewilderment that follows. Published in English, Tamil and Hindi the text consciously speaks the language of the child.
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, sand and child.
