A young boy and his little sister awake at dawn, looking forward to a day of excitement and discovery at the beach. It s so early the lighthouse on the point is still lit. As brother and sister play on the beach, swim in the surf, and explore the tide pools, each experience is a source of wonder. In this newest collaboration by Holly Bea and Kim Howard, children are reminded to appreciate everything in life, from the early morning light to a freckle on the knee to a hug."
This author and these books are fabulous! I love the writing and the illustrations. They are a great way to pass on valuable lessons to our children.

Fostering an Attitude of Gratitude

With another cheerful mix of words and images, Holly Bea and Kim Howard are teaching my kids enduring values...while my kids ENJOY it!! My 4 and 6 year old son and daughter both love this book--they relate to the children pictured, love the wonder-filled illustrations of a day at the beach, and were inspired to search their own surroundings and bodies for things to "bless." Discovering and blessing freckles is lots of fun. My daughter had memorized parts of the book after two readings, and wanted to talk about why we might even bless boo-boos. Thanks, Holly and Kim, for another winner!
