Description
“A young boy, who has never seen the sea, asks his mother to describe it. From there, Zolotow carefully chooses her words to create a poem full of the colors, sounds, and sights of a day at the beach. Minor’s softly detailed renderings reinforce the gentle mood.” ‘SLJ. “[Zolotow’s] words have a special lilt that lingers long after the book is closed.” ‘NYT.
