Pearl

(2) PS When young mermaid Pearl's mother entrusts her with protecting a single grain of sand, Pearl is frustrated by the seeming unimportance of her responsibility. A luminous sequence of illustrations reveals what makes this grain special, leading the story--a stylish original pourquoi tale--to its satisfying conclusion. Idle's color palette has a stunning depth and gradation of undersea hues--all rendered in sharp and clear colored pencil.
