Bookroo's summary

Miranda's perfect beach day is filled with seagulls, sandcastles, and a crab's journey. As the sun sets, everything returns to its place—seagulls to nests, crabs to the sea, castles to sand. But Miranda's heart finds its home in Mama's embrace. Discover the enduring connection between a child and her mother, where every goodbye is a promise of belonging. What makes a day truly perfect? Explore the warmth of love that transcends the tides.

From the publisher

What makes a perfect beach day? Seagulls squawking through the sky. A crab carrying his house. And Miranda and her friends, building a castle out of sand. But at the end of a day at the beach, the seagulls go back to their nests, the crab goes back to the sea, the castle goes back to the sand . . . and Miranda goes back to Mama, who wraps her up in a hug when it’s time to go home. Because Miranda and Mama will always belong to each other. Perfect.
