Bring Me The Ocean, authored by The Nature Connection’s former executive director Rebecca A. Reynolds, MS, OTR/L, is a powerful collection of true stories that demonstrate the hope and renewal that can be found in interactions with the natural world. Poignant and sensitive, the stories come from bringing nature, animals, and the arts to people isolated from direct contact with the natural world, whether in a hospital, a nursing home, a residential treatment center, or other setting. Reynolds has created a book that quietly embraces the power and resilience of the human spirit.
Bring Me The Ocean was published by VanderWyk & Burnham, Acton, MA, and was subsequently awarded the Parents’ Choice Honor (for adult readers), and two Benjamin Franklin Awards. It has been profiled on National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, and has been translated into Japanese, becoming a bestseller in Japan. Bring Me The Ocean has been featured in over 140 newspapers nationwide and is available on audio cassette.

— Robert Coles, M.D., Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard University
“Reynolds’ essays, highlighted by photographs, share the healing gifts evoked by a segment of meadow or the sight, texture, and smell of the ocean.”
