Cottage by the Sea - Hardcover

Some places become part of who we are.

For one little girl, summer means returning to The North Star, a beloved cottage nestled in Little Neck, a small seaside community in Ipswich, Massachusetts. From sandy toes and salty breezes to boat rides through winding creeks, each day brings a new adventure and a new memory to treasure.

Inspired by the author's own childhood experiences and a real cottage that has welcomed generations of family memories, The Cottage by the Sea is a heartfelt celebration of summer traditions, family connections, and the special places that shape our lives.

Through the eyes of a child, readers will discover the simple joys of beach days, exploring the shoreline, and creating memories that last long after the season ends. With warm, inviting illustrations by Red Maylon, this charming story captures the magic of returning year after year to a place that feels like home.

Perfect for families who cherish summer vacations, coastal adventures, and stories that celebrate meaningful traditions, The Cottage by the Sea reminds readers that while summers may come and go, the memories we make-and the places we love-stay with us forever.
