From international rock star Kevin Jonas and Danielle Jonas comes an imagination-focused picture book about how to overcome the rainy-day doldrums and find the fun in every situation.

Bella loves the beach.

She loves the flip and flop slap of her feet on the sand.
She loves the crash, crash, crash of the ocean waves.
And she loves the gentle shush, shush of the beach umbrella in the breeze.

But a rainstorm hits and Bella’s perfect family beach day is ruined.

This day is a rainy, awful mess!

But maybe a little imagination, and a loving family, can show Bella that a beach day at home can be its own special kind of fun.

THERE'S A BEACH IN MY BEDROOM is a cute picture book about family, disappointment, and creativity. Bella loves family day at the beach, and she is bursting with excitement, even though it is raining. When her family tells her that they won't be able to go as it is supposed to rain all day, Bella is disappointed and does not want to do anything else. Then, her family comes up with an idea and brings the "beach" into her bedroom. With plenty of creativity, they all have the best beach day ever.

What I loved: This is a really sweet story about family and creative solutions. While Bella was disappointed with not being able to go to the beach, her family helps to create the best beach day by coming up with ways to do all the beach stuff at home, such as building a sandcastle out of blocks and collecting bead seashells. The story is told with a lot of dialogue that children will find engaging and plenty of color in the illustrations. The font is also large and easy to read for caregivers.

Final verdict: THERE'S A BEACH IN MY BEDROOM is a sweet picture book read about family and creativity that will charm young readers.
