A signed copy of my book Egg Island comes with the painting.
Extract from my book Egg Island. “My daughter, Sumi.” A little girl, 8–9 years old, petite, with beautiful skin and long black hair like her mother; Sumi waved. Sumi asked Captain Thomas, “What is that?” Pointing to
his nose. Captain replied in a tender tone, “It’s called a nose, and it lets me breathe and smell things.” “Mother,” Sumi said. “Why don’t we have a nose, like them?” “Sumi, every creature is different; octopuses and dolphins are different. But they can live in the same sea,” Nola explained to Sumi. Sumi giggled.
