Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

What makes a perfect beach day?

Seagulls squawking through the sky. A crab carrying his house. And Miranda and her friends, building a castle out of sand.

But at the end of a day at the beach, the seagulls go back to their nests, the crab goes back to the sea, the castle goes back to the sand . . . and Miranda goes back to Mama, who wraps her up in a hug when it's time to go home. Because Miranda and Mama will always belong to each other.

Perfect.

Review:

Just in time for family excursions to the shore comes this understated but radiant tribute to a "summer day hot enough to cook an egg on the sand." Miranda and her Mama arrive at the beach with towels, pail, shovel and umbrella and share a day full of sensory pleasures: hungry seagulls squawking, salty sand-coated skin and the "swish, swish" of cold swirling water. Miranda finds both a sea creature... Washington Post Book Review (read the entire Washington Post review)

Synopsis:

When Mama takes Miranda to the beach, the little girl is in awe of everything she sees. This picture book celebrates home and family in their many forms while exploring the wonders of a day at the beach. Full color.
