This delightful book has gorgeous illustrations that are vibrant and colourful. They were created by using oil and acrylic paint with cut paper collage, markers and gel pens. The book is by Children's Literature Legacy Award-winning author Nikki Grimes and acclaimed illustrator Elizabeth Zunon. Together they have created a wondrous bath time adventure story that will tickle imaginations of kids everywhere.

The faucet morphs into a waterfall, the bathroom floor is a distant shore and toy boats sail the seven seas. Both mother and child take part in the adventure and after the little one has been scrubbed clean both dad and mom whisk the child off to bed to be read to sleep. The vibe of the book is happy and very family oriented. I highly recommend it.

The narration tells of an imaginative sea adventure during bath time in such a lovely way. The interactions and pictures are gorgeous and the depicted interactions between the parents and child are so genuine that love simply radiates from the page. By it's nature, this is a book meant to be shared between a child and a caregiver, and this book is a wonderful opportunity to create wonderful moments. .
