Teach the Beach - Paperback

by Don Walsh (Author), Lorraine Dey (Illustrator)

I spent my summers growing up at the Jersey Shore and many of those summers as an ocean lifeguard. As you can imagine, I am very comfortable in the ocean. During those summers, 13 children drowned after hours when the beaches were not guarded. I wanted to do something to help prevent this from happening again and that's when I came up with the idea to write a children's book with the hopes that parents would read the book to their children. My book would then educate the parents and children at the same time about water safety in the ocean. If this book saves one life, it's worth everything to me. Follow the Sands family on their vacation to the shore town of Seaside Delight. Little Sean and his sister, Summer, along with their parents will learn some important safety tips about swimming in the ocean while making some very special friends. Find out who their new friends are and what valuable lessons they learn on this vacation.
