From a stellar creative team, the lyrical story of a grandmother and
grandchild as they share an intimate adventure by the windy sea--and
make a stop for teatime.
Their laughter rose; full of joy, it spilled
'cross sand, through mist,
as the curlews trilled.
Gray skies, foamy waves, and brisk wind await Granny and Bean when they
head out for their day by the sea. But they are full of only wonder and
delight at all the shore has to offer. They listen for the shrieks of
the seabirds as they discover treasures hidden in the sand, greet dogs
as they pass, leap over logs, and settle out of the wind for a cozy
treat before tramping homeward again. Rendered in simple, lilting text
by Newbery Medalist Karen Hesse and expressive, windswept art from
acclaimed illustrator Charlotte Voake, Granny and Bean have an adventure
to cherish until their next magical day at the shore.
