From dashing down the sand dunes to splashing in the waves to meeting furry friends of every shape, size, and temperament, the beach is full of fun surprises. This playful rhyming story, with colorful and energetic illustrations, captures the fun, chaos, and joy of a dog’s perfect day while celebrating individuality and community. Perfect for dog lovers big and small, Did You Say DOG BEACH DAY?! shows that, while we may be different, tails all wag for the same things.

Elisia Seeber is an author, journalist, and digital producer living in Perth, Western Australia. With a Bachelor’s degree in Communications and Media, her writing career focused on nonfiction, until a break from the industry allowed her the time to reignite her childhood love for creative writing. She hopes her stories will inspire creativity and curiosity, encouraging children to always stand up for what they believe in — even if that is unicorns.

Amy Lee, aka Kooky Chooky, is a Sydney-based illustrator who blends her offbeat spirit and career with her Chinese zodiac sign. Navigating her dual roles as a doctor and an illustrator, she finds inspiration in daily life and childhood nostalgia influenced by her Taiwanese roots. She loves transforming everyday moments into extraordinary adventures through her art.
