Lullaby of Summer Things

A heartwarming tale that captures the essence of summer and the joys of family moments as the day winds down. The story follows a family as they engage in various summer evening activities, preparing for the night. In the spirit of such bedtime favorites as Emily Winfield Martin's Day Dreamers, here is a quintessential end-of-day by the beach lovingly captured and perfect for reading aloud. This simple, lyrical picture book is as warm, reassuring, and filled with joy as a vacation at the beach. Readers will join a little girl and her siblings as they wind down from a perfect day--hanging up towels, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed--each activity sparking a memory of their day--playing catch with the dog, chasing waves, and looking at sailboats along the shore. And when the lights of the family beach house go off--'In the dusky evening light, a sleepy house says goodnight'--young listeners will be lulled to sleep themselves.
