Other editions of book Sandcastles

A wordless storybook for all ages illustrating the grief and beauty of impermanency. At first, a young child delights in building sandcastles that dissolve right back into the ocean. It doesn’t take him long to discover that like sandcastles, everything in life is impermanent. As he gets older, accepting this fact becomes very painful. When he realizes what actually makes life precious is that it doesn’t last forever, he once again delights in building sandcastles that - of course - fade away!
