A personal, passionate pocket field guide, infused with the spirit of an artist in love with her subject, Searching for Seashells is a perfect beachgoer's companion. Every page captures that feeling of finding something unexpected, with beautifully hand-painted images of shells interspersed with poems, interesting history, and surprising facts (did you know that limpet teeth are the strongest organic substance in the world?). It's the gift of nature's endless beauty.
