Dial A Story ~ "Sand in My Shoes" written by Wendy Kesselman
Dial A Story From the Mid Mississippi Regional Library
"Sand in My Shoes" written by Wendy Kesselman.
The last day of summer. Time to say goodbye to the beach, good-bye to the roses, good-bye, even, to the turtle and toad who have been such good friends-such good listeners-over the past few months.
Time to return to the noisy, crowded city. To school and to rules and to tall shadows from buildings that fall across the street and loom overhead. But back in the city, the memories of summer linger. Even in the city, in the bedroom that will soon feel like home again, a favorite saved seashell and some grains of sand keep the memories of warm waves strong through the winter.
