Grains of Sand
Grains of Sand | Sibylle Delacroix
2 posts | 3 read | 3 to read
On the last day of a family vacation, a little girl is as blue as the sea, and her shoes are filled with sand. What should she do with all of this sand? Together, she and her brother decide to plant the grains of sand, and imagine what will grow. A field of beach umbrellas, to wave hello to the sun? Or a forest of windmills, to fill the sails of a boat? Before drifting off to sleep, the girl has her dad promise they'll go back for new grains of sand next year. Spare text will prompt readers to wonder and imagine their own possibilities, while illustrations in a palette of yellows and grays convey the sun-soaked joy and the lingering nostalgia of family vacations well remembered.

Geared to kids ages 4 to 7, this book deals with every child's dream of making a summer vacation last forever. This book shows them how by using a handful of sand. #ISpyBingoJuly @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book has AMAZING ART! Most of the story is told through the art, and it is beautiful to look at. Pencils sketches with just the right pop of blue or yellow to create the magic that the children in the story feel. These grains of sand are magic. They feed the imagination, grow giant umbrellas, or a sea of windmills. A lovely book to be treasured for generations.
