| Publisher Description: Celebrate the bonds between fathers, sons, and nature with this lovely, sun-drenched debut picture book. I am a bird. I glide into arms open wide. I'm the hands that hold and the eyes that shine... when it's you and it's me and the sea. A boy and his father spend their day at the beach, exploring the shore, the sand, the water, and everything in between. The result is a warm, elegant celebration of nature, connection, and the myriad relationships formed all around us. |
