Charming, delightful and full of educational information disguised in an engrossing story for children and adults alike. Miss L'eau is the story of a young teacher who captivates her students and holds the sea within her eyes.
One evening, unbeknown st to Miss L'eau, James follows her and witnesses her journey down to the lighthouse and into the ocean. He can hardly believe his eyes as he sees his teacher ride her bike straight into the ocean, without reappearing. James is convinced that Miss L'eau has met the end of her life and is shocked beyond words, when she is right there in front of the classroom come Monday morning. What is going on and how can any of this be possible?
James tells his best friend David what he witnessed on that Friday night. Together they decide to confront their favorite teacher - intrigued and amazed by what she has to tell them.
Miss L'eau is a wonderful story that teaches the lesson of taking care of our planet and the importance of doing so - not only for us, but for future generations. With tidbits of information throughout, such as the fact that oceans cover about three-fourths of the earth's surface, this is a book that will not only delight, but also educate.
I highly recommend Miss L'eau for reading at home and think it would make an excellent story to add to any school curriculum.

About Miss L'eau:
James and David had always known there was something unusual about their elementary school teacher, Miss L'eau, but they could never quite put their finger on it. David discovered their first clue, was in her eyes-- Miss L'eau had the most unusual pair of eyes! She wore glasses when she taught, but when she had to deal with just you--she would lean over your desk, move her glasses down to the end of her nose . . . and there they were! Miss L'eau's eyes were as blue-green as the sea, and if you could get up the courage to stare right into them, you'd swear you could see angel fish, sea plants, coral beds and even sea anemones! It was the most wonderful, yet frightening, experience when she would talk to you face-to-face. The boys lived their whole lives near the ocean, but never thought about how import it was or how vulnerable it might be. Through Miss L'eau, and her unexpected relationship to the sea, they develop a love and understanding of the ocean and become involved with the nearby aquarium and organize an annual clean-up.
