"Hattie and the Wild Waves" (ISBN 1-883332-31-1) is a 1990 book by Barbara Cooney. It tells the story of Hattie, who "is from a well to do German immigrant family and has a mind of her own." She looks to the ocean to decide what occupation to pursue as she grows up: painting.

The book was described as being the closest to Mrs. Cooney's heart. She narrated an audiobook with this book and her "Eleanor" [http://www.audiobookshelf.com/eleanor.html] .
