In the spirit of such bedtime favorites as Emily Winfield Martin's Day Dreamers, here is a quintessential end-of-day by the beach lovingly captured and perfect for reading aloud.

This simple, lyrical picture book is as warm, reassuring, and filled with joy as a vacation at the beach. Readers will join a little girl and her siblings as they wind down from a perfect day--hanging up towels, eating dinner, and getting ready for bed--each activity sparking a memory of their day--playing catch with the dog, chasing waves, and looking at sailboats along the shore. And when the lights of the family beach house go off--"In the dusky evening light, a sleepy house says goodnight"--young listeners will be lulled to sleep themselves.
Madeline Valentine is is the author-illustrator of I Want That Nut, George in the Dark, and the Bad Birthday Idea. She holds a BFA from Pratt, and is currently pursuing an MFA from Washington University in St. Louis. You can find her online at madelinevalentine.com and on instagram at @madeline_valentine.
