With creative innocence in her brush and wit in her pen, island resident Sandy Gingras offers a delightful "How To" book that reminds us to "float" and "make a splash"; to "ebb and flow" and "run with waves" or "laugh like a gull"; to "sugar yourself with sand," to "walk tender," and to thank.
With charming illustrations and inspirational wisdom, this endearing book gently encourages us to live life on simpler terms — whether your island is real or imaginary. It’s a refreshing gift book that one reviewer describes as "the perfect mini-addition to the coffee table."
How to Live on an Island gives us an opportunity to reflect on the most simple yet important things. It’s an illustrated philosophy that will enchant you.

''Gingras isn't just writing and painting about the sand, the sun and surf. She's commenting on the waves that crash on the shores of our conscience, the storms that pass over the reefs in our minds and destroy the sand castles of our imagination....'' — The SandPaper

"It is a book that is easy to hold in your hand while your mind leaves each page to soar through the far reaches of your imagination."

"I think that there’s no truer place than an island. Whether it’s a sandbar or a bubble-up of volcanic rock or a jut of tropical coral, an island stands only by some whim of fate, given a chancy foothold among the chaos. When I go to an island, I know that I’m in that state of grace in which anything can happen." — from the book
Excerpt
Excerpt
We often need "How To" books to remind us of what we already know. Maybe that's why we need islands too -- to remember ourselves. To remember how tenuous and miraculous we are… how we're out-to-sea, surrounded by horizons...how we are, at once fragile and possible. — From the Back Cover
