ABOUT THE BOOK People think the old man is strange. He sits on the beach for hours, listening to the wind, sweeping the sand with a broom and waiting, always waiting. But young Taro is fascinated with the old man whom he considers wise and full of wonderful secrets. And when the old man reveals that some special friends--Japanese sea turtles, ready to lay their eggs-- are about to visit the beach, Taro joins the old man to help with the preparations. |
