Thoughts on these wonderful Beach Picture Books
As an elementary school Library Specialist, it’s mid July and I’m starting to think about the upcoming school year.
Usually, I start the school year with a library book welcoming students back to the library, but this year I’m thinking of kicking off the year with a beach picture book. A kick starter to the fun conversations of welcoming student’s back by sharing what they did over the summer.
Now, let’s dive in to the seven picture book recommendations I have curated for you and your young reader:
Beach Picture Books – 2024
The Sandcastle That Lola Built (2022)
Megan Maynor (Author) Kate Berube (Illustrator)
A modern, summery spin on the classic The House That Jack Built, in which Lola’s day at the beach leads to new friends and a giant sandcastle.
Sora’s Seashells (2023)
Helena Ku Rhee (Author) Stella Lim (Illustrator) Ji-Hyuk Kim (Illustrator)
A lyrical narration and luminous illustrations tell an uplifting intergenerational story of kindness and confidence, loss and remembrance, with resonance for any child who feels other-than.
If You Spot a Shell (2024)
Aimée Sicuro (Author)
A stunning companion to If You Find a Leaf, this cheery picture book captures the excitement of summer and encourages children to see their collected seashells in an entirely new way. The artist incorporates real shells into her exquisite illustrations.
Beach Hair (2024)
Ashley Woodfolk (Author) Nina Mata (Illustrator)
From two bestselling creators comes a lyrical and heartfelt picture book about a multiracial family’s trip to the beach that’s an ode to family, community, diversity, and–most importantly–fabulous beach hair!
Abuelo, the Sea, and Me (2024)
Ismée Williams (Author) Tatiana Gardel (Illustrator)
Abuelo, the Sea, and Me is a tender, heartwarming picture book that vividly explores intergenerational connections, family history, and the immigrant experience.
