About the book
The 3 Friends and the BIG Wave is a story of friend ship, love and understanding. This book takes us through the emotions of a child who went through the tsunami. When we were young, we all had this great love for the sea but after the big wave visited our shores this is no longer true for many children. This book hopes to re-ignite the love that children had for the sea and to help them deal with some of emotions they feel now.
