Most boys bring home stray dogs and cats, frogs and snakes, but not the boy in this story – he brings home a stray wave! At first she fills the house with light and air, driving away the shadows with her blue and green reflections. At night, shimmering like a rainbow, she sings sweet sea songs as she rocks her boy to sleep. But beware: Her moods are as changeable as the tide, and what is a boy to do with a naughty wave? Based on a story by Nobel Prize laureate Octavio Paz. My Life with the Wave is as unexpected as it is unforgettable. And to add to the fun, Mark Buehner has hidden a cat, a dog, a mouse, a whale, and a sea horse in almost every illustration. Let's experience the magic of reading as I read aloud "My Life With The Wave", written by Catherine Cowan. Illustrated by Mark Buehner. Based on the story by Octavio Paz.
