In this evocative wordless book, internationally acclaimed artist Suzy Lee tells the story of a little girl’s day at the beach. Stunning in their simplicity, Lee’s illustrations, in just two shades of watercolor, create a vibrant story full of joy and laughter.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one doesn’t have any words, but it still says a lot through whimsical illustrations. My boys were completely pulled in by the facial expressions, the movement of the waves, and the simple fun of playing at the edge of the water. It’s a quick read, but we always end up flipping back through the pages to look again. A great day at the beach or a quiet-time book.
