LoveReading4Kids Says
July 2024 Debut of the Month
Lula and her dad are going on holiday to the seaside, but for the first time, Simone and her son Theo are coming too. Lula isn’t sure about this; she’s never had a big brother before and she’s certainly not happy when Theo puts her bucket and spade in the car.
But then they arrive at the beach and Theo offers to help Lula with her sandcastle. By the end of the day, the two are firm friends and making plans for tomorrow.
Júlia Moscardó’s illustrations depict a small child’s experience of a sandy beach beautifully, you can almost hear the seagulls and smell the salt, while Lula and Theo, playing in the sand and jumping the waves, are full of life and movement. A lovely book to share and with a particular relevance for newly blended families.
For another perfect depiction of a day at the beach see Good Night, Good Beach by Joy Cowley and Hilary Jean Tapper.
