Sea of Dreams
by Dennis Nolan
Roaring Brook Press, 2011. Unpaged. Picture Book.

A young girl spends the day making a sand castle down at the beach. But it is only after she leaves that the adventures begin in this delightful picture book. A family of tiny people live in that sand castle—and the tide is quickly coming in. Told only through pictures, readers (young and old) can enjoy the magical adventures of what happens next . . .

Dennis Nolan's illustrations are gorgeous, filled with bright and exciting colors, as well as, lots of fun new details to discover each time the book is read again and again.
