"Summertime means beach time, and there's no better celebration of a beach day than Suzy Lee's WAVE. It's a different kind of 'beach read'— wordless, lovingly expressive picture book in charcoal and paint. Lee's drawings are equal parts whimsy and full of feeling. They are perfect in their simplicity. I want prints of each page to hang on my wall.
In the time it took you to read this staff pick, you probably could have read WAVE—so I'm going to stop now and let you enjoy it. See you at the beach."
