| Publisher Description: In his debut children's picture book release, Poet Ray Powers has created a wonderful story about one very special, and mindful, manatee named Manny, teaching children the dangers our oceans and marine life face if humanity fails to stop polluting them.As Manny himself says: How I love the oceans blueSo many things to see and doI'm sure you and your friends agreeWe must keep them safe for all to see PRAISE FOR THE AUTHOR: "The story is not only powerfully poignant, but the gorgeous illustrations bring Manny and his beloved world under the oceans to life and encourage us to do all we can to help them survive and thrive." --- D. D. Scott, International Bestselling AuthorABOUT THE AUTHOR: Growing up on an island (Long Island specifically), Ray has always gravitated towards the water as a source of inspiration as well as a place of solace.Amongst other places, he has lived in Newport Beach, California and currently resides in Florida. The Atlantic and Pacific Oceans as well as the Caribbean Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico have been particularly inspiring. Their power, presence and magnitude humble him as well as enliven his imagination. It is while he's beachside that he feels as though the universe "downloads" words, thoughts and themes into him, and writing is his way of sharing them.... |
