After you read What Hides In The Tides you'll never look at a glove, an egg carton or a broken piece of jewelry the same way again.The opportunities for 'recycle-art' are unlimited. What Hides In The Tides celebrates the diversity of the aquatic species. What a great way to increase a reader's awareness of how different the species of aquatic animals can be. Each animal has its own poem and art and personna. And just like people they are all so varied. What unique art! The artists, Jenifer Borg and Vicky Tavernier used materials they had laying around in their homes because they did NOT want to shop during the pandemic. Ok, well, they did buy the canvasses and glue but that's about it. See how many materials you can name. Are you intrigued? Jenifer and Vicky hope this inspires you to create your own 3-D works or art with 'found' objects or trash around your house. The poems percolated themselves. Vicky Tavernier researched and connected to each aquatic animal type until the poems basically wrote themselves (with Jenifer's astute guidance). Can you hear these creatures talking to you? Look for the other books in their series: Insights About Insects and Words About Birds. They're equally whimsical.
