Illustrated by
Lauren Tobia.
In her second picture book, Anna Hibiscus takes a trip to the beach. Her family members are too busy--reading, talking, digging in the sand--to go in the water, so she goes in by herself. Her ensuing joy lures everyone else in. Tantalizing illustrations capture Anna's emotions, the heat of the sun, and the beautiful colors of a boisterous seaside adventure.
