Enough of sizzling sidewalks, enough of wailing sirens, enough of people’s feet right in his face. When he plops down in the middle of a crosswalk, his owner endeavors to get him the breath of fresh air he needs. She hails a taxi, hops a train, and ferries out to the beach. Here, a pup can run! With fluid art and lyrical text that have the soothing effect of waves on sand, award-winning author Doug Salati shows us how to find calm and carry it back with us so we can appreciate the small joys in a day. ------ For more children's book recommendations and tips for raising kids who love to read, visit Brightly: http://bit.ly/299HQX0 Follow Brightly: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ReadBrightly/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/readbrightly/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ReadBrightly Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/readbrightly/ Music used with permission from DeWolfe Music Library.
