"This charming story shows how fear can hold us back, and how love can save the day . . . Crimi's latest is a warm-hearted lesson in how to overcome paralyzing fears by putting others first." --Booklist Lots of things at the beach scare Sukie. Lots. Because she is just a small dog, and the stairs are big and sandy, and the waves are big and whooshy, and the balls are big and beachy. And besides, there might be lobsters. With endearing illustrations and a perfectly paced text that captures a timid pup's looping thoughts, here is a funny and honest read-aloud about how overwhelming the world can be when you're worried--and how empowering it is to overcome your fears when it matters the most.
