A Day With My Dad At The Beach

by Lance Waite
Illustrated by Manuela Pentangelo

A little girl gets to spend time at the beach with her father in this delightful rhyming book about enjoying togetherness between fathers and children.  After school her father picks her up on his bike and they ride to the beach to enjoy a long afternoon and evening of playing on the sand, swimming, and going to the boardwalk.  Along the way they also talk of deeper matters like the importance of friends and family, and what the future may hold.  The colorful pictures in this book fairly leap off the page, and perfectly capture the joy and excitement of dad and daughter’s fun day together.  Both the words and images work together make the love and pride between father and daughter palpable, and this book shows that sometimes the most simple joys shared with our children are the most important and most enduring of all.

Excerpt:

Our cottage is small and close to the beach, with little white windows and a fence near the street.  I go to school while my dad is at work.  He draws big buildings, while I get paint on my skirt.
