Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A family goes on a trip from the city to the sea in search of renewal in this "lively and lovely...beautiful" (Jacqueline Woodson, National Book Award-winning author of Brown Girl Dreaming ) picture book that's an ode to sisterhood, nature, and being present.
On the first day of spring, when the city is quiet and still, little Yaya takes the A train down to New York City's southern shores with her mama and aunties to greet Mama Ocean and celebrate the arrival of a new season through a ritual of letting go of the past and embracing the new.
"A Denene Millner Book."
On the first day of spring, a young New Yorker, with her mother and aunts, takes the train to the ocean to make an offering of flowers and fruit to Mama Ocean, thanking her for her magnificence, and welcoming the new year.
