Did you know that between 10,000 to 15,000 species of clams have been discovered? They come in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. Some clams live just a year, and others can live to be 500 years old! #undertheclammoon #picturebook #summerwithkids #readaloudbooksforkids #beachvibes

I'm proud to share that Publisher's Weekly called UNDER THE CLAM MOON "a jubilant, anecdotal-feeling celebration of intergenerational bonding and the natural world."
It's wonderful when reviewers truly ~see~ the book.
