This charming illustrated gift book encourages us to live happily on simpler terms. We are reminded to ''float'' and ''make a splash,'' to ''ebb and flow'' and ''run with waves'' or ''laugh like a gull''; to ''sugar yourself with sand,'' to ''walk tender'' and to ''thank.'' This book by author/illustrator Sandy Gingras is the first of seven in her very popular and uniquely inspirational ''How To Live'' series.

Review
''Gingras isn't just writing and painting about the sand, the sun and surf. She's commenting on the waves that crash on the shores of our conscience, the storms that pass over the reefs in our minds and destroy the sand castles of our imagination....'' --The SandPaper
From the Back Cover
We often need "How To" books to remind us of what we already know. Maybe that's why we need islands too -- to remember ourselves. To remember how tenuous and miraculous we are.. how we're out-to-sea, surrounded by horizons...how we9re, at once, fragile and possible.

A book truly for happiness,
This review is from: How to Live on an Island (A Cormorant Book) (Paperback)
Sandy Gingras is a loving person, determined in the notion that we can be happy. This is a serious issue. With very few others do I take her issue so to heart.
