The Cozy Spot story My Beach Adventure supports a theme of sharing with young children the joy of exploring and discovering the simple pleasures that our beautiful country affords. It is a book that intends to instill, at a very early age, an appreciation our glorious natural resources, the fun of sharing, the opportunity for creativity, and the happy anticipation of spending time with loved ones. Many children seem to have missed real-life adventures in favor of virtual experiences; therefore, this book was written as a “no tech” medium to acquaint children with an aspect of the life experiences that our great nation and traditional family values offer.
