My Review

Growing up takes courage sometimes, especially when you have to explore the world on your own.

In Meet Me by The Sea, a little girl wishes to go to her favorite place by the Sea. Her parents are so busy working, they don’t notice her packing up to go. In a trek that leads the girl through forests and over little rivers a whole night alone to her destination, the world changes right in front of her eyes. Assured at first turning about every tree and skipping over stones, her courage slowly loses its gravity. Suddenly things appear and disappear. They look different in the dark.

But there are little surprises to be had and with a little encouragement by a new friend, she is off to her favorite place by the Sea.

***

This is such a darling picture book that encourages kids to overcome obstacles. As a bedtime story or read aloud, it will surely uplift little explorers to dream big and embrace their vulnerabilities. With beautiful pastel-hued illustrations, it is calming and inviting to read. Nature and animals are captured tranquil even in the dark of night. This will be a thoughtful gift for story-time reads and pleasing for readers and nonreaders alike.

I received a copy of this novel from NetGalley in exchange for an honest and voluntary review.

All opinions are my own.

Thank you!
