This is what it feels like to go to the beach, plain and simple. The salty breeze, kicking off your flip flops, running quickly as the sand burns your feet, running into the cool water to cool them off, feeling the wet sand sneak in between your toes in the water, and on and on.
This book is summer and the beach. It doesn't have a narrative, it's simply the experience of a good day at the beach, through the perspective of a child's feet. The illustrations contain a kinetic energy-- they're full of movement and excitement and life--as well as bright summer colors. It reminded me of the joy of having to run quickly to the water to cool my feet and then feeling the wet sand in between my toes. A must for summer.
