WickWick- kirjat eivät usein itselle nappaa, mutta tässä oli jotain erityistä. Unto on poika, joka pelkää olla perheensä kanssa kovaa vauhtia aallokossa liikkuvan veneen kyydissä. Meren ja aaltojen pelko on saatu kirjassa esille hyvin. Lohdun Unton tilanteeseen tuo rauhallisesti ja maltillisesti etenevä ukki ja tämän hidas vene, jolla veneily ei lopulta ole lainkaan niin pelottavaa.
Positiivinen yllätys: poikien ei aina täydy olla pelottomia merenkävijoitä ja pelkoja voi olla myös "miehisiä" harrastuksia kohtaan.

Otto doesn’t want to go on a boat trip because he is afraid of the waves and deep water. He is worried about the motor failing in the middle of the ocean. Luckily for him, his grandfather comes up with a method to help Otto overcome his fear: encouraging him to signal when it is too much.
This is a great book to help children easily overcome their fears.

Most of the time kids tend to fear things like waves and going fast because it's new and exciting. Wonderful illustrations help tell this story of this boy who must overcome these fears and realize that it's okay to be afraid but you can also embrace it as well. Families will enjoy reading this story together and discussing it. Good read.

Tunnetyöskentelyn apuna helposti käytettävä kirja. Unto-poika osaa hienosti sanoittaa tunteitaan ja mikä erilaisissa asioissa pelottaa. Untolla oli myös varsin fiksu pappa, jonka kanssa keksittiin peukkumerkit nopeuden säätelyyn!

The Wild Waves is a short picture book whose protagonist is Otto, a young boy who goes on a boating trip with his family during rough weather. Otto is taken aback by the loud motor roaring, the boat’s erratic movements, and the sheer size of the sea waves that crash against it. On the other hand, his family is having a terrific time encouraging the father to go faster and faster. Finally, they arrive at the island, and the rest of the family enjoys the peace and quiet of an island picnic after the exciting journey.
Completely scared off by the experience, Otto decides not to sail again. His Grandfather visits the following days, and they talk about the trip. Together they develop a system for Otto to tell him when he wants to go faster or slower on a carousel. Grandpa then suggests that Otto go out on his boat and use the system they just created to make sure Otto is comfortable.
Author Tuula Pere and illustrator Catty Flores’ encouraging book is about overcoming fears and respecting other people’s boundaries. The protagonist, Otto, had a poor experience sailing because his father was steering the boat at high speeds as they sailed through a storm. His fears, disregarded by his parents and sister, continued to grow and prompted him to avoid any future trips sailing. His Grandfather, however, listens to his fears and comes up with a plan to help him come to terms with his fear in a way that he feels safe and heard.
His compromise with his Grandfather, who volunteers to take him on a more tranquil trip, is a prime example of how consent from all involved parties is fundamental in any shared experience. This is a moral that any child should take with them.
The Wild Waves is a heartwarming picture book about overcoming fears, respecting boundaries, and problem-solving. Teachers and caregivers can use this to help younger children learn that it is ok to be afraid and give them steps to learn how to overcome fears.
