Cape Cod Summers Beverly Koester

Beverly Koester takes readers back to her childhood summers in the 1950s, spent in a small cottage in South Chatham, Massachusetts. For Beverly and her older sister, the days were filled with swimming, exploring in the woods, walking to the post office, and playing "kick-the-can." Along with their nature-loving mother, the girls dug for clams, picked beach plums, and watched Monarch caterpillars turn into butterflies. And no summer was complete without a family outing to the Chatham Band concert. Written with simplicity, careful observation, and a gentle sense of humor, Cape Cod Summers shares one child's love of the Cape.
