![]() ![]() ![]() Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 48 pp., for ages 4-8 Written and illustrated by Daniel Miyares The real star here is the Stella sisters' absolute earworm of a song, whose delicate harmonies and kid-friendly instrumentation might make it soon rival the Frozen soundtrack in your house. Steve Björkman's bright and dynamic illustrations capture the girls' robust personalities, but the wide-eyed ocean creatures all look like someone put Valium in the seawater. The book is a joyous recounting of two sisters having fun in the sand - though a twist at the end will encourage young readers to go right back to the start and read it again in a new light. Now the Stella sisters have turned to picture books, releasing In the Waves simultaneously with a song of the same name that streams for free on the publisher's website. ![]() You might know Lennon and Maisy Stella from their YouTube rendition of Robyn's "Call Your Girlfriend," which has racked up more than 26 million views, or from their co-starring roles on ABC's musical drama Nashville. Written by Lennon and Maisy Stella, illustrated by Steve Björkman Eliot Schrefer looks at four new picture books perfect for vacation. That doesn't mean reading has to take a break, though, especially if the books whisk young readers away to the sand and the waves. Summer's here and it's time to get out into the sun. ![]()
