Past the Beach Roses

Growing up on an island is adventure. In the summer you can enjoy swimming, boating and lobster baked. The tide floats on driftwood floating in the warm afternoon sun. Summer residents and tourists will arrive in early June; the island that we sleep will escape. There are picnics everywhere in the bay. On warm nights, a heavy full moon is reflected in the water occasionally watching the street dance. The lobster boat shares various yachts with the waters surrounding Casco Bay.

Everything about Awago beach looks different this summer. Ross is going to have adolescence, but on the other hand, I am interested in the activities of older teenagers, communication, interpersonal dramas, especially Duncan for those working in small convenience stores. And always remember love for Rose 's Twizzlers. Ross's family is different. Because they no longer want to reproduce children, Rose 's mother is retarded and angry, and Ross' father was trying to laugh in a bad situation. In Awago Beach, this contrast gets worse, Rose's mother refuses even being underwater, and Rose's father wants to enjoy with her family. Ross also hopes that her family can regain the small tradition that was important to her in the past few years, but it seems unlikely this summer seems.

Like many young teenagers, Rose's attention changes between her family and her social life, or what she wants. Both text and illustrations balance the inner life of Rose and the world of Awago beach. Detailed illustrations of Gillian Tamaki are represented by warm color tones, capturing the interaction of rose between humans and the natural world. A mountain of beach stone, a view of a bonfire extending along the beach, a scene of a girl riding a bicycle - these are all added to portray a special summer of roses.

Since Rose was 5 years old, Rose and her parents came to the cottage of Foam Obama every summer. The time she spent there constitutes an important part of her childhood memories, family talk and even self-awareness. This is a safe place, its predictability, you can go back to that year's place and make sure things remain the same. Everything about Awago beach looks different this summer.
