An evocative bedtime picture book that distills the essence of a family summer at the beach--skin sticky with salt, sandy feet, waves hush-hushing and a shell under the pillow.
Hilary Jean Tapper\'s warm watercolor and ink illustrations add an inclusive cast of extended family, friends, and children of different ages..
This simple poem by internationally-renowned author Joy Cowley transports the reader to a childhood summer with language that asks to be read over and over.
The cadence of the final words echoes the shushing waves in a gentle signal of time for readers to sleep--Good day, Good sea, Good sand, Good night.
With a few resonant images, Cowley takes us straight to the end of a long hot day with Beach treasures under the pillow and the salty smell of the sea.
Summer holidays by the sea have a rhythm all their own.
