Beach Dreaming transports both children and parents to a dreamy day full of charming and surly beach creatures. Bring the beach home with you, and explore the sounds and scenes of your favorite sandy days. This children's book makes a wonderful gift, or a great purchase to take to your next beach getaway! Book is approximately 7.5 by 5.5 inches. Great for travel. The book was inspired by watercolor landscapes painted by my grandmother in the 1940s. I wrote the story and painted gouache animals that I superimposed over the watercolors. My grandmother was an amazing artist. It means the world to me that I could create this book for my daughter, and in memory of my grandmother.
