Sand Children

This reassuring story shows a father and son camping at the beach. They make several sand sculptures, the most unusual of which is a giant. A roving gang of children comes along and destroys all the sculptures but the giant. The boy wakes in the night and finds the giant building sand children and a sand castle. Upon waking in the morning, the boy finds nothing left but the giant. The soft colors of the illustrations evoke twilight, that half-state between wakefulness and dreaming. A gentle tribute to the power of imagination.
