WAVE is ”heartbreaking and life-affirming”— Amy Novesky, award winning author

Follow a breath into the lungs of a little girl. Reimagined as an upside-down tree, lungs usher that breath into her as light, then out as a song imbued with stardust. Respiratory science becomes a story poem of breath’s journey, connecting us to one another and the universe. Included is a glossary of breathing words.
