Clams All Year | Maryann Cocca-Leffler

IT’S SUMMER VACATION―and all the brothers and sisters and cousins are together in a large, rambling house on the shore. Every morning at sunrise Grandpa wakes the kids to go clam digging. And every day they come back with nearly empty buckets―until the storm, that is. What happens on the beach the morning after the storm is something they will all remember for years to come. Maryann Cocca-Leffler has recreated in simple words and glowing illustrations wonderful memories of summers at the beach with her large, extended family―and of one very special summer day.

Recent books include a picture book biography,  Fighting for YES! The Story of Disability Rights Activist Judith Heumann, and Maryann’s debut middle grade novel, Heart Stones, a mystery set on the coast of Maine. Other popular books include The Power of YET inspired by the Power of Yet growth mindset, The Belonging Tree, which celebrates diverse neighborhoods, and Same Way Ben, which is loosely based on an autistic boy who has difficulty with change.

Maryann has received many awards over the years including; The International Literary Association Teacher Pick Book for Janine and the Field Day Finish, The Florida Reading Award and the Hoosier Book Award for Mr. Tanen’s Ties as well as Bank Street Best Book for Bus Route To Boston.

She enjoys visiting schools (both in person and virtually) to promote literacy and share her books with children. Maryann happily lives and works in Portland, Maine, (though her Boston accent travels with her wherever she goes.)
