Description

A hilarious, gnarly beachside picture book illustrated by the Caldecott Medal-winning creator of THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE: THE UNIMAGINARY FRIEND and AFTER THE FALL.

Dude! You have to read this book.

It's totally about this platypus and this beaver who are friends. They want to go surfing but, dude, there's this shark who's in the ocean, too.

But don't worry. This shark approaches and - dude! - you'll never guess what happens.

'We should all be grateful that Santat, with his brilliant use of color and humor, was here to bring Beekle to life.' Huffington Post on Dan Santat's THE ADVENTURES OF BEEKLE

It's a remarkable feat - a turbocharged adventure that's also a meditation on the relative nature of time. - PUBLISHERS WEEKLY on Dan Santat's ARE WE THERE YET

Santat applies his considerable talent for intertwining visual and textual, whimsy and gravity to his consideration of trauma and the oft-overlooked importance of self-determined recovery ...
