Barefoot Books Out of the Blue Barefoot Books

This evocative wordless hardcover book about the mysteries of the sea invites readers to tell the story in their own words, which stimulates the imagination and helps develop visual literacy. Follow Alison Jay’s distinctive crackle-varnished artwork as a storm — and what it brings — transforms the seashore for a day. Includes endnotes on marine life, lighthouses and the intriguing world of items that wash up on beaches.
