Readers are invited on a quiet walk along the shoreline with the narrator, where they visit and pay homage to an old friend, Mother Beach. --Patty Merski.
Beneath the matte-laminated, illustrated jacket is a hardcover book of textured, speckled oatmeal paper debossed with the glistening face of Mother beach, beckoning you to join her.
Back matter includes fun facts about the color and origins of Beach and sea glass.
Young listeners will enjoy the easy rhythm of the verse as they search the pages for hidden treasures.
Free-hand sketches and watercolor washes provide a lovely backdrop for the author\'s personal journey of discovery and wonder.
As countless individuals walk beaches daily searching for these colorful nuggets, Mother Beach has a kindly way of embroidering meaning into this everyday activity cherished by so many. it has a curvy, floral pattern once delicate and clear perhaps it\'s from a candy dish or vase from yesteryear.
Several pieces of colorful, weather-worn Glass are picked up along the way and carefully inspected within the reflective verse: a glint of gold catches my eye as I continue down her strand, announcing a chunk of amber has arrived on new, wet sand.
