Told in rhyming verse, the story is a quiet study of life by the
sea. The illustrations, which rely on grays, browns, and tans,
perfectly capture the chill and damp of a blustery day. . . .
Librarians and educators will appreciate that the book provides a
gentle counterpoint to the plethora of “sunny days at the beach”
books. . . Perfectly captures the mood of the day.
*Kirkus Reviews*
One to Watch: "exquisitely illustrated […] I could hear the waves
crashing and the wind whooshing on every page […] Granny and Bean
perfectly encapsulates the joy of being out in the wild while
knowing you are safe with someone you love."
