“The Little Girl on the Ocean” is a modern folktale for children ages 5-8 about young girl who lives in a fishing shack on the water. The girl learns about the wonders of the natural world and how to serve her community. When the safety of her home is challenged, she must use all she’s learned to protect the people and place she loves. "The Little Girl on the Ocean" was completed as a 40-page dummy for my Senior Thesis Project.
