How far away is home when you're only six years old?
What the Ocean Brought Me is Book Three in the Blue Bear Series, a beautifully illustrated children's picture book inspired by author Pushpa Devi's own childhood journey from India to America.
Life in her new world is beginning to feel more familiar, but some things are impossible to forget.
On the beautiful Oregon coast, a young girl stands beside the vast Pacific Ocean with her beloved Blue Bear close by. As she looks toward the horizon, she wonders about the home and family she left behind in India.
Could India be just over there?
Could the people she loves somehow see her from the other side?
As she explores the rocky shoreline, searches among the treasures left by the ocean, and experiences the wonder of the Oregon coast, thoughts of India are never very far away.
Told through the honest and imaginative perspective of a six-year-old child, What the Ocean Brought Me explores belonging, family, cultural identity, separation, childhood wonder, and the ways children make sense of distance and home.
Inspired by real childhood memories, this tender story offers opportunities for conversations about immigration, adoption, family connections, adjusting to a new country, and maintaining a connection to the places and people we come from.
Perfect for children ages 4-8, families, classrooms, libraries, and anyone who has ever missed someone or somewhere far away.
