Setsuko and the Song of the Sea

Setsuko loves the sea.\r\nShe swims its shallows. She dives its depths.\r\nBut she worries that her friends have chosen to abandon her way of life. \r\nThen she meets a whale who also fears he is the last of his kind.\r\nIn return for giving him hope, he gifts her a song\r\nwhich she uses to remind people of the beauty of the ocean.\r\nSetsuko took the song and made it her own.\r\nThey played together from the first crisp light of morning until the setting of the evening sun.\r\nEveryone who heard Setsukos song was filled with the wonder of the sea. They remembered the beauty and mystery of the ocean.\r\n\r\nA story of an unlikely friendship, Setsuko and her friend the whale have one thing in common - their love of the sea.\r\n\r\nMuch like the revered ama-san, - women who have been diving off the coast of the Shima peninsula in Japan for over 2,000 years - Setsuko is a strong girl who is on the path to becoming one of these real-life mermaids. \r\n\r\n10% of the net profits from each book will be donated to the Marine Conservation Society, the UK charity working for seas full of life.
