It's not too late to go to the beach and look for shells in September. In sweatshirts. This spread for Ranger Rick went through several incarnations in sketch stage with a different title too, but it finally came together. An "aha!" moment came when I realized I could make little shell characters on the beach instead of trying to fit in an identification drawing of shells as a separate teaching element. Anthropomorphic shells. I think Ms. Whelk and Mr. Mussel are hitting it off.
Another piece for Ranger Rick for a regular feature called "Be Out There". No earbuds or ipads; just sun, surf, sand and wildlife. Donna Miller's great art direction. (Thanks for the hermit crab idea, Donna!)
