When Maya's perfect sandcastle begins to wobble, can one tiny crab help her find a new way?Maya wants every tower straight and matching. But one leans, another tumbles-plop!-and her hands squeeze into two tight fists.Then Ciro, a cheerful little sand crab, shows her a secret of the shore: waves curve, shells twist, and beautiful things do not have to be perfectly straight.With one wave, one breath, and one little try, Maya softens her hands, repairs one tower at a time, and turns fallen sand into a tunnel for tiny crabs.Lee en español / Read in Spanish: Cuando el castillo perfecto de Maya empieza a tambalearse, ¿podrá un cangrejito ayudarla a encontrar otra manera?Maya quiere que todas las torres queden rectas e iguales.
