About the author

Marsha Hayles is the author of many picture books and now a novel for young people. Her picture books frequently make use of rhyme and playful language, and range in topic from celebrating a day at the beach to suffering sore feet. Her novel Breathing Room is about girls suffering from tuberculosis at a sanatorium in 1940 and reflects her life-long interest in medicine, inspired, in part, by her childhood in Rochester, Minnesota, home to the world famous Mayo Clinic. Now she lives with her husband in the other Rochester—the one in New York.
A former English teacher with a Master’s Degree in English from Washington University, Marsha enjoys visiting schools to share her enthusiasm for reading and writing with children or to run writing and poetry workshops.

Fun and bright illustrations of the beach. Not really much of a story line as its a collection of beach drawings with activities written to coordinate. The kids enjoyed looking at the pictures though.
