Author Becca McMurdie and Pura Belpré Honor Award-winning illustrator Paola Escobar explore the natural world with appreciation and empathy in this wildly imaginative, summer-themed picture book
A seashell is just a seashell . . . or is it? To a clam, it's a door. To an octopus, it's a shield. To a young child, it's a treasure! A place to play or a home for critters, the beach can be so many things!
And there are so many other exciting things to find hidden in sand dunes and between waves-all it takes is a little shift in perspective.
Perfect for boardwalk strolls, lazy days on beach towels, or in a classroom or a playroom, Just a Shell . . . or Is It? promotes creative thinking and empathy for the world around us-and all of its inhabitants-teaching young readers that nothing in nature is "just" what it is, but so much more.
