Wave.

This is an absolutely gorgeous book! It's a wordless picture book all about a little girl's day at the beach. The art is incredible, with gray and white pictures and the brilliant blue of the ocean. After seeing this book in a children's bookstore, I just had to have it. This book needs no words because the pictures 100% speak for themselves. The little girl arrives at the beach with her mom, unsure of what the ocean will bring. First she is shy, then bold, then soaked! All before discovering hundreds of seashells that have washed ashore. This is a book all people can relate to because everyone has experienced the delight of going to the beach. Wave is a book that will bring back all your memories, placing you right back to that perfect summer day.

It's so real I can taste it.
