THE OCEAN CALLS
A breathtaking picture book featuring a Korean girl and her haenyeo (free diving) grandmother about intergenerational bonds, finding courage in the face of fear, and connecting with our natural world.
Dayeon wants to be a haenyeo just like Grandma. The haenyeo dive off the coast of Jeju Island to pluck treasures from the sea--generations of women have done so for hundreds of years. To Dayeon, the haenyeo are as strong and graceful as mermaids. Grandma's relationship to the ocean has developed over time, and Dayeon's is just beginning. A scary past encounter keeps Dayeon clinging to the shore, but with Grandma's guidance, Dayeon plunges deep and comes to appreciate the ocean's many gifts.
Tina Cho's The Ocean Calls, with luminous illustrations by muralist Jess X. Snow, is a classic in the making.
Tina Cho teaches at an international school and writes for the children's and educational markets. Though she grew up in Iowa, she now lives in South Korea. In her free time, she enjoys playing her electronic piano, careful not to bother her many neighbors in the high-rise apartment building she lives in with her family.
Jess X. Snow is a queer migrant Asian-Canadian artist, filmmaker, and Pushcart-nominated poet based in Brooklyn. A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, they are currently an MFA candidate in writing/directing and cinematography at NYU Graduate Film. Their art has found a home on the facades of seven-story buildings, the pages of children's books, and tiny lapel pins.
