Synopsis

A moving story of nurturing friendship and standing up for others
Lula loves living by the beach. But soon, her family must leave their home to make way for a new highway. Counting down the days to her move, Lula walks along the beach to find keepsakes and discovers something much more valuable than a souvenir. Lula makes friends with a small sea monster that she names Bean. Each day Lula returns to the beach to feed him. And each day Bean grows bigger and bigger. But what will happen to Lula's new friend once she moves away?
From popular children's book author-illustrator Alex Latimer comes this delightfully odd story of friendship and bravery.
