"What could be better than a family day at the beach? . Maya's sentences are like the day itself: full of family and excitement, breathlessly racing from sand to surf and back. Crews' story and art take place entirely in double-page spreads that mostly teem with Maya's relations, a boisterous, multi-racial and -generational crew. The love that binds this family together is as warm as the summer sun. Pure joy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review).
