by Charlotte Zolotow (Author), Wendell Minor (Illustrator)
A summer classic by two masters, reissued and redesigned for contemporary audiences.
Wendell Minor's elegant artwork and Charlotte Zolotow's simple, evocative prose brings a day at the beach vividly to life as a boy and his mother imagine what it would be like to spend a day at the seashore. Hunting for seashells and building sandcastles, this tribute to the power of imagination and the tenderness of a mother-child connection is also a sweet ode to summer's greatest pastimes. Perfect for storytime or bedtime.Author Biography
