"Sandy Toes and the Seashell King" is a delightful and imaginative picture book for children aged 3 to 9. It follows Luca, a beach-loving boy known as Sandy Toes, who uncovers a tiny golden crown buried in the sand-only to meet King Krabbly, a crab monarch from the underwater Seashell Kingdom.
When the royal pearl that lights the ocean goes missing, Luca is asked to help recover it. With courage, cleverness, and his sandy feet, Luca embarks on a whimsical journey through the ocean's depths, filled with jellyfish jellies, dolphin choirs, and sea turtle tea parties. Alongside King Krabbly, he solves the mystery of the missing pearl and restores sparkle to the sea.
Filled with vibrant imagery and playful dialogue, the story celebrates discovery, friendship, and the magic hidden in everyday moments at the beach. It's a perfect read for children who love the ocean-or dream of adventures beneath the waves.
