The Orange Lobster
a book of the one in thirty million and of the sleek kite that cuts the wind
William Vincent Carleton
Inside the nature center, a bright orange lobster rests in its tank, and Lúmine simply stands and looks. Outside, Líam flies a sleek delta kite that cuts the wind instead of fighting it, and Father begins to want a kite of his own. A book about the rare things we see and the things we make.
