Beach Baby

★ “Dreamy artwork and verse reassure readers who are headed to bed…Enchanting, engaging, and restful.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review

A gentle, poetic lullaby for baby, filled with memories from a perfect day playing on the beach.

Castles, sand dollars, seals peering out of the waves and the beat of the ocean become sweet reminders of all the magical things that await baby tomorrow. A lyrical celebration of natural beauty and a soft, reassuring reminder for little ones being tucked into bed that fun and adventure will return with a new day.
