A day at the beach is full of celebration, helping out, and especially discovery in this energetic and beautiful new book by the New York Times bestselling creator of My Heart and The Book of Mistakes.Hello, sand. Hello, toes. Hello, ocean. Hello, hello, hello! In this glowing portrait of beachtime joy, a girl greets the many things she encounters, celebrating them all. Razor clams and sand dollars, the splish and splash of water, logs and dune grass and . . . uh-oh, garbage too. When she discovers a knotted pile of debris, she and her parents work to get it cleaned up, then go on with their busy, happy day at the shore.

A delightfully preposterous and original fairy tale about a community that forgets how to get along, by the celebrated creator of The Book of MistakesThe first argument was over a brush and a comb, and which would be better for taking a tangle out of the kings beard. Next came the argument over letters, and then over spoons . . . and soon they argued all the time, and no one could remember when the arguing had started or over what or by whom. They only knew that they had always argued, and that they did it well. Very, very well.And so it was that the king and queen decided to hold a contest to choose the very best arguer in the land. But what will happen when everyone is so busy arguing that they cant even hear the queen announce the start of the contest?

A stunning and sensitive portrait of the strength within each of us and the nourishment we receive from the natural world, by the New York Times bestselling creator of the acclaimed My Heart and The Book of MistakesThrough poetic text and exquisite illustrations of children reveling in nature, this picture book explores the various ways we as human beings are strong, creative, and connected to others. Each of us is like a tree, with roots and fruit, and an enduring link to everything else in nature. "The tree in me is strong. It bends in the wind, and has roots that go deep . . . to where other roots reach up toward their own trunk-branch-crown and sky."As Corinna Luyken did in her award-winning My Heart, she again provides an invigorating conversation-starter that contains a world of truths--about self-esteem, community, and living a meaningful life.Awards and Accolades for My HeartNew York Times Best SellerPNBA Book Award WinnerIndie Next List Pick (Top 10)Nerdies Best Picture Books of the YearBook Page Best of the YearBrain Pickings Best Books of the Year * "This must-buy for librarians and teachers has myriad educational uses; it begs to be read aloud, and it is a masterful blending of text and illustration."
