QK Agent Round: Sand Dollar, PB Humorous, lyrical

Entry nickname: Sand DollarTitle: Sand Dollar ShopperWord count: 200Genre: Picture Book (humorous, lyrical) 

Query: 
A young boy’s imagination soars as he and his mother collect Sand Dollars at the beach. “Sand Dollar, Sand Dollar, what will I buy?” With his “dollars,” he imagines buying asurfboard-turtle, a singing teacher seal, or a treasure boat to hoist up sunken jewels. When the boy discovers he can trade his Sand Dollars for real dollars at the beachside store, he makes a surprising and heartwarming choice that helps his unexpectedly hatless mom and brings the story full circle. Sand Dollar Shopper is a humorous and lyrical 200-word picture book that would appeal to children ages 2-6.
First 50 words:
(Art: Beach, breezy. Mom presses hat to head)            
The wind blows.    The waves push to the shore,And pull out again.                                   Seashells sparkle on the sand. I pick them up, one by one.White shells, brown shells,    Scallops and snails.     My favorite is the Sand Dollar!
Sand Dollar, Sand Dollar, what will I buy?
