Why the tides ebb and flow by Joan Chase Bowden
Audio book about a witch who lived in nature and she called upon a spirit asking for a hut.
She asked for other things after days, to get out of the weather. She wanted a rock that was the plug to the sea.
Silly children's story, cute.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

The title makes the book pretty self-explanatory. An old woman lives in a flower patch. She asks the God for shelter and he finally agrees to let her have a rock and she knows exactly which rock she wants. This rock she chooses is the only thing that keeps the water from going down a hole/drain. When she takes it, the water level falls and when she replaces it the water rises again. It's a very cute explanation as to why the tides ebb and flow.
