Many readers will look back at their own memories of hectic mornings when they tried not to forget anything important before an adventure.


Upon arrival, Emily wants to go swimming in the ocean, while Ben wants to stay behind and build a sandcastle. After he finishes, the worst happens when James Rabbit ruins Ben's creation by accident. Ben learns about forgiveness and friendship when James apologizes and asks to help build a bigger and better sandcastle than before.

About the author

My name is Johnni Gorges. I started writing this book two and a half years ago, a week after my daughter was born. I decided I wanted to write and dedicate this book to my daughter so she could see just one of the many ways that she has inspired me. view profile
