A Drop of the Sea by Ingrid Chabbert
3.0
This almost folktale like story is a sweet concept, but it should not be read as anything but that. No way would a child walk three days in the desert to being a bucket of sea water to his grandmother.
But, once it as read as simply a folk tale, it is sweet, and not child abuse, or anything unusual to see here.
The concept is that the grandmother is too old to walk to the sea, which is three days away. So the young boy, goes off to bring her a pale of sea water. But it was so hot, that most of it evaporated.
Might be good for libraries, for diversity, but did not find it a good book to reread serveral times.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
