A mother and daughter’s day at the beach becomes a lesson in life as they discover starfish stranded on the beach and work to rescue them. Sandy and her mother discover that small acts of kindness can make a big difference, if only to one. The reader is drawn through the book by beautiful, fluid watercolors that hint at the coming sunset. After Sandy and Momma head for home the reader is allowed to linger a little longer and discover a surprise look at the ocean after dark.
