Summary
Caterina knows that things don’t need to be perfect in order to be great!
The best day at the beach includes: building a sand castle, collecting shells, flying a kite and … seeing a whale?
Well, maybe—but only if you’re especially lucky and you’re willing to change your perfectly crafted plans. Caterina needs to figure that out in time to have a perfectly unplanned, perfectly wonderful beach day.
