Jim and Claire Herbert live in Santa Cruz, CA.

Jim is a retired auto collision repair shop owner who now enjoys using
his skills of working with metal, combined with his love for the ocean
and surfing, to create sculptures that blend those passions. Each of his
sculptures have been hand crafted out of recycled metal. More of his work can
be seen at www.Facebook.com/wavesofsteel.

Claire has been teaching language arts to middle school students for
over 30 years. She wanted to write a book that would not only bring
Jim's sculptures to life, but also to encourage reading aloud to children.
