Big Family Beach Day - Hardcover

Kirkus Best Book

"The love that binds this family together is as warm as the summer sun." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

An extended family enjoys a day at the beach in this intergenerational tribute to family, friendship, new experiences, and summertime fun by the acclaimed author-artist Nina Crews. A fresh take on Cynthia Rylant's classic, The Relatives Came.

Every summer, Maya goes to the beach with her mom, grandma, aunts, uncles, and cousins. There are a lot of them. It's a big family beach day! Full of sand, sun, splashing, sandwiches, swimming, and (of course) sunblock, Maya loves every moment of it.

Inspired by her own childhood and extended family reunions, Big Family Beach Day is Nina Crews's celebration of summertime fun, friendship, family, and love. With her rich, vibrant art and accessible, read-aloud text, Nina Crews captures the joys of a memorable summer day with family.
