Description

Guided by moonlight, a child and their uncle travel across a shimmering beach in search of clams...

Big and small, old and young, clams burrow beneath the sand, just waiting to be discovered.

This effervescent tale is a beautiful shoreside journey about creating core family memories, and the wonders of the natural world, perfect for fans of A Different Pond and Owl Moon.
