Liam goes to the beach on a warm, sunny day but finds the water completely calm. Wanting a wave, he tries several imaginative ways to persuade one to appear: waiting, asking seagulls for help, and using a sandcastle as bait. When those ideas fail, he decides he must create a wave himself. The story follows his playful beachside problem-solving.
