(Babl Books Jan. 30, 2016)
The beach is a world full of possibilities for Peter and his dog Urchin. There are stones to skip across the waves, sand to turn into castles, and the shoreline waits to be explored. When a wave destroys his sand castle, Peter reacts, tossing stones. Is there magic–perhaps–in the sand dollar that he finds? Will Peter use the sand dollar to make the right choice about the beautiful sea around him? A little flounder flopping helplessly inspires Peter to think, “What have I done?” He calls upon the sand dollar again. At last, he sees the ocean come back to life and Peter and Urchin head home. Vibrant two-color silkscreen illustrations complement this simple story of a satisfying day at the beach.
