Illustrated by
Amy Bates.
In fifteen short, warm free-verse poems, a young girl and her mother enjoy a leisurely day at the seaside: splashing in the ocean, playing in the sand, watching the sunset. Soft pencil and watercolor illustrations emphasize the water, sand, and light of a summer day. In sidebars, pencil drawings illustrate one word from each poem in American Sign Language.
