A Day For Sandcastles by JonArno Lawson, illustrated by Qin Leng

I love that this story starts on a bus. It gives me a new feeling because I have always traveled by car. But wouldn't it be different if we traveled by bus? I like that. The illustrations ground us in a lovely beach day. I can feel the warmth of the sun, the rough sand, the splashing waves and the windy day. The movement in these illos are beautiful. Everything is always moving, everything thought of~ the people, the sun, the breeze, and the water is a character too. Such a perfect beach day book.
