Mili and Quesito Go to the Seaside

A graphic novel/picture book hybrid, this sparsely worded "my first comic" story is perfect for beginning readers who love fun and zany adventures, while encouraging readers to work together to take care of our natural world!

When Mili goes on a seaside vacation with her dad, Quesito, they can't wait to relax, soak up some sun, and visit the local aquarium. But when they arrive, they find the beach covered with garbage, and the aquarium animals dreaming of the open sea.

Mili and Quesito have to help!

They decide to spend their vacation doing a beach clean-up — and discover a magic sea snail trapped in a tin can. With the shell's powers, Mili and Quesito embark on a fantastical underwater adventure full of mermaids, a giant octopus, and one very daring dolphin rescue mission!
