"Where do the Seagulls sleep?" Is part one of a beach series between family and their children.


Experiencing the ocean and it's wonders for the first time is a memorable outing between Stefan and his mother on this daylong adventure at the beach.


Mom carries a big red beach bag to collect all the treasures of the day. Stefan finds out about the ocean from little creatures like dancing sand crabs to flying dolphins!
