Summary:
"An eco-lament, filled with hidden treasures, for what seems to be the possible inevitable loss of the temperate tidal lagoon that sits between our home and the Pacific ocean ... Through this artwork, book artists Peter and Donna Thomas share a 40-year perspective of living at the edge of Bonita Lagoon ... Peter and Donna Thomas tell their story through the textures of paper they made from plants growing around the lagoon, through a complex binding structure as diverse as the plant and animal life in the lagoon, and through illustrations that imply the importance of the things that are hidden in and around the more obvious declining Lagoon"--From artists' statement.
