Spend a day at the beach marveling at the wonders all around you in this moving, lyrical picture book from Newbery Medalist Cynthia Rylant.

To be by the sea is to love the smallest things.
And the greatest.

With gulls, picnics, dogs, sticks, dogs with sticks, shells, and ocean animals large and small, there is plenty to love by the sea. Open your eyes, ears, and heart to the beauty of nature in this tender picture book about a day spent with friends at the ocean’s edge.
