Treasures From The Deep

by Irene Davidson Fisher

Overview

Treasures from the Deep is about a child's wish to give her Grandma a special gift for her birthday.

Ashanti is a shy little girl and is easily scared but she is determined to overcome her fears. It is her Grandma's Birthday but Ashanti only has 75 cents and according to her, "Not even enough for a chocolate bar back home in Canada. And who knows how much a chocolate bar costs in Florida?" Ashanti spots Grandma's book of shells. Her Grandma loves shells and Ashanti realizes they would be the perfect gift for Grandma's birthday. She enlists the help of her Papa and they embark on an adventure in search of Grandma's favourite shells: a Conch, a Shark's Eye, Angel's Wings, and a big Sand Dollar. 

 The setting for Treasurers from the Deep is Mexico Beach, Florida. Like everyone else, I was shocked at the devastation Hurricane Michael wrought on this breathtakingly beautiful area of the Pan Handle. The sugar-white sands, the kaleidoscope of shells and the turquoise water, inspired this story. As a Canadian Snowbird, I spent many enjoyable winters walking along the snow-white beach with the turquoise water lapping at my feet, searching for my Treasurers From The Deep.

Editorial Reviews

"Treasures from the deep is a book that illustrates the wonderful bond between a child and her grandparents. Ashanti and her grandfather share adventure to find a special gift for grandma. It demonstrates beautifully that closeness: How children and their grandparents love each other, help each other and learn from each other."

Jim Poling

"Like Ashanti's gift to her grandmother this story is a gift to the reader. It teaches through example the power of determination and the value of things that money cannot buy."

Marie Gage

Author

"Treasures from the Deep is an enchanting story about giving from the heart. Told alongside charming artwork, this story exemplifies the special bond children share with their grandparents and little Ashanti speaks to the child in us all, reminding us that the best gift is knowing how much someone cares."
