Illustrated by
Lindy Burnett.
Like water rising with the incoming tide, anticipation swells for a little boy waiting to witness activity at the shoreline. Swirling gouache illustrations set the scene in this rhythmic exploration of the tide's ebb and flow, including how it sustains plant and animal life. The text occasionally sacrifices clarity to maintain the vibe, but beachcombers will enjoy the presentation.
