Illustrated by
Doug Chayka.
After their seaside home is destroyed by a storm, a family comes to terms with their loss by spending the following summer in a tent at the same site. The melancholy tale brightens only slightly as the children learn to appreciate new traditions. Luminous paintings capture the contemplative mood.
