Goodreads

A beautiful wordless picture book that offers a subtle but important introduction to the impact of climate change on our world. A family happily lives by the sea and makes their living from the sea. Scenes of a happy family life are beautifully drawn. When the sea-level rises, the family is resourceful and perseveres by literally floating and towing  their house to a new location. There is much to ponder in this small but powerful wordless book. 

Recommended for Cream of the Crop.
