Since we've been to the Florida Gulf for many years (just not this year) & seen the manatees swimming by & visiting a nearby pier, then my granddaughter Ingrid studied them one year, we are in love with them, too. That's why I chose the manatee poem as a favorite. Thanks, Laura, love hearing about your memory, too!Linda Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14983144542632353870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-73519699490055547802020-11-22T05:47:45.562-07:002020-11-22T05:47:45.562-07:00Thanks for hosting, Linda, and for your invitation...Thanks for hosting, Linda, and for your invitation into this book. I love the ocean, and the only Florida thing I miss besides family is the ocean. What a labor of love this book must have been! Can't imagine a million writers AND a million illustrators. Sounds like it would be delightful to pair with Nicola Davies' FIRST BOOK OF THE SEA. I grew up watching manatees at Blue Springs in Florida. On a visit a few years ago, I spotted a few in the Intracoastal Waterway--it was like seeing old friends:>)laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-52675996846911472062020-11-21T06:37:32.455-07:002020-11-21T06:37:32.455-07:00That is the last time I've been, too, Fran.

I haven't been since July 2019 - the month my family had a magnificent vacation after which my husband suffered a massive heart attack and two surgeries. With the advent of COVID, we haven't traveled. This little ocean book stirs both delight and longing - I must know: is there a seahorse poem in it? Important symbol for me ...today I celebrate life in my poem, and thank you so much for hosting. Joy to you. :)Fran Haleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05295033583781089018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-51272069466300969332020-11-21T05:31:39.896-07:002020-11-21T05:31:39.896-07:00Thanks again for hosting on short notice.
