Tyra loves the ocean but her best friend, Emily, has never been.
Gramma has a great idea: she and Tyra will bring the ocean to Emily!
Thus begins Tyra and Gramma’s adventure to make the Shell Box, a special gift decorated with beautiful seashells right from the sandy shores of the ocean.
With a kid-friendly, cutaway seashell guide and beautiful photographs, this charming book is the perfect companion for any shell-collecting explorer.
About the author: Kathy Groth spends many hours along the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. She has a lifelong love of the ocean and the fascinating world of seashells.
Kathy taught elementary school for many years. She and her husband Chuck raised two daughters and enjoy the company of five grandchildren. Now retired, Kathy shares her passion for education through children’s literature, inspiring curiosity and wonder in children through her second career as a multi-published author.
The idea for The Shell Box came one day when Kathy’s grandchildren visited her at the ocean. Kathy went on a search to find a kid-friendly shell guide, but her quest was unsuccessful. Thus, Kathy decided to create her own, paired with a delightful story to engage young readers.
It is Kathy’s hope that this book inspires children (and adults) to explore ocean shores and dive into the wonderful world
of seashells!
