Sea Glass Summer by Michelle Houts illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline*

A beautiful book -words, story and illustrations
Thomas spends the summer with his grandmother on an island.  She shares with him the joys of collecting sea glass.  She relates to him how his deceased grandfather had believed that each piece of sea glass has a story to share.  After he finds a piece of sea glass, he lays it on his bedside table and dreams of its origins. 
The story comes full circle at the end.
A very satisfying story that encourages imagination and exploration.
*Highly recommend.
-Borrowed from the library.
