Mark spends a busy, noisy day helping out at Gram's seaside hot dog stand. After the last customer is served and the grill is scrubbed to a silvery shine, Mark sails off with Gram for a promised surprise - and finds a nighttime sea full of shimmering moonjellies.

In this story from his own childhood, Mark Shasha's luminous and evocative paintings create a world where the ordinary and the magical meet.
