The orphaned Jiya must learn to come to terms with his grief. Now facing a profoundly different life than the one he'd always taken for granted, he must decide on a new way forward.Written with graceful simplicity, The Big Wave won the Children's Book Award of the Child Study Association of America when it was first released.This ebook features an illustrated biography of Pearl S.
