The poems and images in this book, so real, so substantive, go through the hearts of readers of all ages like the thinnest, longest and most delicate thorn that nature has ever produced, provoking very slight jolts of love, joy and empathy. With each being that appears, with each piece of information revealed, respect for the sandbank is born. When the book closes, a new horizon opens up for the conservation of this natural heritage, and the reader, wherever they are, feels the sun, the wind, the heat, the sand and the salt on their skin and in their eyes.
