As a devoted art teacher to the local residents and sea animals of Ballyhoo Bay, Mira Bella is saddened when she learns that developers are planning to build directly on her spot at the water's edge and so her friends, on land and in the sea, rally together in an effort to save the special place they all love and cherish. - Baker & Taylor

Welcome to Ballyhoo Bay, where Mira Bella the artist teaches painting and sculpture to grannies and kids. Sun, sea, sand, and sky - what could be more fun?
Until one gray day a billboard goes up, announcing a high-rise building and all kinds of stuff. No more sand or seashells or painting or fun. And absolutely no children and wildlife allowed.
Mira Bella is not one to take this plan lightly. But despite Mira Bella's conviction, can art save Ballyhoo Bay?
Mom's Choice Award winner and E.B. White Read Aloud Award recipient Judy Sierra has created a modern fable for the ages, celebrating art, nature, and community. Derek Anderson's vibrant and buoyant illustrations are as close as you can get to a day at the beach without actually being there.
Come put your toes in the sand at Ballyhoo Beach!
