Maya, her cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma, and mom, are excited to share a day filled with sand, sun, splashing, sandwiches, swimming, and sunblock. Will it be the best day ever?
Big Family Beach Day is a multigenerational celebration of summer and family traditions for readers of all ages.
“When you go to the beach with your cousins, aunts, uncles, grandma, and mom and you’re doing something really fun, everyone gets involved.” Maya’s sentences are like the day itself: full of family and excitement, breathlessly racing from sand to surf and back. Crews’ story and art take place entirely in double-page spreads that mostly teem with Maya’s relations, a boisterous, multi-racial and -generational crew... the love that binds this family together is as warm as the summer sun.
