When the Sea Turned to Silver

The story beautifully weaves cultural elements into a magical journey. I'm curious what sparked the idea to bring these legends to life for young readers.

The blend of mythical creatures and cultural themes made the story feel both exciting and authentic. Did it resonate with anyone else's own family stories or traditions?

The story moves at a steady clip with plenty of adventure, but I wonder if this pacing was planned to hold kids' attention or evolved during writing.
