Joshua By the Sea


This short board book is full of feeling. I use this book in my class as an example of a small moment. Joshua is a character in a series of board books by Angela Johnson. One trademark of Johnson's writing is a comeback phrase; in this book it is I am Joshua...and then names places and people he is near. A fast and quality read at the same time.
