Bookroo's summary

A young boy and his mother spend a day at the beach, marveling at seaweed that shelters fish, waves shaped by the sea floor and a hermit crab searching for a stronger shell. In gentle rhyme, they fly kites, build sandcastles and watch sunlight dance on the water, discovering how science and faith fit together. The book ends with "Did You Know?" facts about life by the shore.
