"Siblings" illustration from Nancy Standlee for my "Dreams of the Turtle King" beach poem book.
The poem is Siblings and the illustration is for a stanza in the poem ...
"A father brings
his son and daughter
to the beach..."
There were occasionally families out on the beach or in the water when I did my morning walks. Usually, they waited until a bit later in the day to come down to the beach, but a few were there bright and early.
This morning I saw a father with his two children, a boy and a girl. The boy was being the typical adventuresome boy and was jumping into the waves. The little girl wanted to join him but was a bit too timid to rush into the water, but was hopping from one leg to the other at the water's edge!
