Bring Me The Ocean, authored by AAI's former executive director Rebecca A.
Reynolds, MS, OTR/L, is a powerful collection of true stories that demonstrate
the hope and renewal that can be found in interactions with the natural
world. ... Poignant and sensitive, the stories come from bringing nature,
animals, and the arts to people isolated from direct contact with the natural
world, whether in a hospital, a nursing home, a residential treatment center,
or other setting. The difficult transitions they are facing, and the power
and drama of their healing moments are captured here. ... Reynolds has created
a book that quietly embraces the human spirit.
Bring Me The Ocean has received Parents' Choice Honors (for adult readers),
and two Benjamin Franklin Awards.
