Sand Sister

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Yuyi Morales. After Paloma wishes she weren't the only kid at the beach without a sibling to play with, she draws a girl in the sand. Her sand sister comes to life--until the tide comes in--and Paloma's parents announce that she'll soon have a permanent sib. The characters aren't developed and the ending narrows the story's appeal, but the acrylic spreads in lush oranges and blues are absorbing.
