New Book Spotlight: Sandy Toes - A Summer Adventure

A new picture book by poet Shauntay Grant takes families on an alliterative journey to the beach! Join an excited family of four as they explore all the fun activities the seaside can bring. Each spread has two or three words which make it easy to read with very young children, but put together they create a poem that kids of all ages will enjoy. The focus on the beginning sounds is a delightful way to work on phonological awareness and everyone will pore over the bright illustrations by Candice Bradley. Whether or not you'll be visiting the beach this summer, your family will love Sandy Toes: A Summer Adventure
