A hilarious celebration of summertime, curiosity, and outdoor play in this companion to Just One Flake, from critically acclaimed author-illustrator and elementary school librarian Travis Jonker.

It’s the perfect day to go to the beach. The sun is shining, the sand is warm, and the water is... completely still?

Liam is determined to catch a wave, no matter what. He tries waiting patiently... no luck. He asks the seagulls for help... they are no help. He even tries tempting a wave with his beautiful sandcastle, but the water refuses to budge.

Nothing seems to work. Until, in a sudden moment of inspiration, Liam realizes if he can’t find a wave, he’ll just have to make one himself.

From librarian and picture-book creator Travis Jonker comes this companion to the beloved Just One Flake—another hilarious and satisfying story all about the magic and creativity of outdoor play.
