- Book Intro
-
Why do children bother to build sandcastles and wait for the waves to take over?
A big wave surges. This one is bigger than the previous one, which startles the children to move back. But the crabs are acting strangely. They’re even bolder than the children. They don’t back off and stand tall against the big waves. Why are they doing this? What are they going to do? Aren’t the crabs scared of the waves? Now the wave is coming. The crabs ride the tide and enjoy surfing. They’re riding the waves without hesitation, unlike the children who fled from the waves out of fear.

We grow playing with the waves.
Here I introduce you to another wave of mine, Here Come the Waves, different from Who Are You and When a Persimmon Tree Calls.
