Description: This timeless tale recounts the journey across the sea made by impetuous Little Wave and his teacher, Old Swell. Their allegorical adventures promote discussion of the age-old questions: Where did I come from? What is the nature of life? What happens when I die? Little Wave's discovery that he is composed not of water, but of energy, illustrates the truth that humans are more than just physical forms. The simple metaphor of a wave rising out of the ocean, learning important lessons, then sinking back to the place it came from, imbues a universal mystery with a charm both uncomplicated and strangely familiar.
