Bringing the Beach Home
A child uses creativity to find comfort within the changes of divorce in this gentle picture book. Rowan is tired of traveling between Mom’s house and Dad’s; nowhere feels like home anymore. A surprise beach day gets off to a rough start, but nature calms Rowan’s stormy attitude. With Dad’s help, Rowan finds a way to hold onto that feeling of home. Vibrant illustrations apply multiple techniques to evoke the textures of a beach day, from flowing water to rough sand.
