Summary

  
          Suki, an island, and Torvi, the sea, have a problem at a time when the sun, land, and sea can speak to one another.  Over the years it became warmer and warmer, and there were more storms and rain.  The wind blew harder and harder, and Torvi became angry and his waves rose higher and higher. He began taking sand from Suki’s beaches, and they began fighting.  Finally, Suki tells Torvi not to be angry at her, because the wind makes his waves rise so high, and she will go talk to the wind.  But the wind can’t help because no trees hold him back.  So Suki reaches out to the sun and wind for help in getting the trees to come. 
          Will Suki find a way to get the trees?  If they come, will that calm Torvi down?  Will Suki and Torvi ever be able to live in peace.  This book tells their story, in a parable about the land, sea, and forces of nature.

    The Wizard of Oz

    Most of us remember The Wizard of Oz as the film starring Judy Garland and Bert Lahr. But the film was based on L. Frank Baum's immensely popular Oz series, which was published in the early twentieth century. In these novels, Oz is the utopian land beyond the rainbow where threats are turned back with valor and ingenuity. The books' success lies in the way they induce children to look for the element of wonder in the world around them.  Considered the first truly American fairy tale, The Wizard of Oz follows the adventures of Dorothy Gale and her dog, Toto, after her Kansas home is swept away by a cyclone and lands in Oz, killing the Wicked Witch of the East. The Munchkins and the good witch, Glenda, show them the yellow brick road, which leads to Emerald City and the powerful Wizard of Oz. On this unforgettable journey, Dorothy encounters the brainless Scarecrow, the heartless Tin Woodman, and the cowardly Lion, each of whom must overcome the wrath of the Wicked Witch of the West to get his heart's desire.
