--_When you're too hot and everything is too much, sometimes, all you need is a stretch of sand and open sky to bring you back to yourseld.
A gorgeous, calming picture book, about a sausage dog that takes a trip to the beach to escape a sweltering summer in the city.
'A remarkable slice-of-life story...vignettes capture the joy of companions who are utterly relaxed in the other's presence... Salati makes smart use of the picture book format to craft a calming portrait of escape and renewal.' - Publishers Weekly, starred review
'Choices Salati makes around composition and the vibrant palette communicate much of the book's changing tone and heighten the story's emotional impact. He populates these landscapes with eye-catching details and expressive characters. These are spreads for lingering over. Best of all, the two primary characters, the dog and its owner, endear themselves to readers' - Julie Danielson
