Kids The Sandcastle that Lola Built

The Sandcastle That Lola Built

Written by Megan Maynor, illustrated by Kate Berube

Who would have thought that building a sandcastle at the beach would also invite the opportunity to practice kindness, thoughtfulness, and problem-solving skills? In this story it does!

Lola quickly becomes a fantastic role model for our little readers – as she creatively invites kids who accidentally bump into her sandcastle masterpiece to become new friends that share in the wonder and joy of a day at the beach. This sweet story reminds us of the value of teamwork and the importance of creative play outdoors. What do you hope your WinterKids will learn at the beach this summer?

Why our WinterKids love this book:

“There are a sandcastle and sea glass that signal mermaids in the ocean! There are seashells! And the kids are working together.”

-Winter Kid, Age 4
