“I think that there’s no truer place than an island. Whether it’s a sandbar or a bubble-up of volcanic rock or a jut of tropical coral, an island stands only by some whim of fate, given a chancy foothold among the chaos. When I go to an island, I know that I’m in that state of grace in which anything can happen.”

With creative innocence in her brush and wry wit in her pen, island resident Sandy Gingras offers a delightful “How To” book that reminds us to “float” and “make a splash”; to “ebb and flow” and “run with waves” or “laugh like a gull”; to “sugar yourself with sand,” to “walk tender,” and to “thank.”
With charming illustrations and inspirational wisdom, this endearing book gently encourages us to live life on simpler terms — whether your island is real or imaginary. It’s a refreshing gift book that one reviewer describes as “the perfect mini-addition to the coffee table.” How to Live on an Island gives us an opportunity to reflect on the most simple and important things. It’s a full-color illustrated philosophy that will enchant you. |
