Acclaimed novelist Esther Freud's first picture book – a timeless tale about the magic of spending time together at the seaside.

“A beautiful, magical book that captures childhood at the seaside.” Emma Chichester Clark

"An evocative, timeless and heart-warming celebration of your own special moments at the beach." Lancashire Evening Post

From treasure hunts in spring, summer days spent playing on the beach, flying kites in autumn and walking through buffeting winter storms, the magic of the beach is that it changes with the seasons and we change with it. From tiny moments playing in the sand to bigger milestones of birthdays or New Year Day swims, this is an evocative celebration of making memories as a family.

The timeless story from Esther Freud, with heart-warming illustrations, is one to share again and again to remember the magic of childhood and your own special moments at the beach.

the book reads like a nostalgic series of snapshots, capturing moments of family life by the coast across all weathers and occasions, including icy waves, autumn winds and New Year’s Eve celebrations... Emma Chinnery’s watercolour illustrations bring a timeless feel to the pages... A beautiful, evocative title that makes a wonderful addition to early years and KS1 bookshelves. * Books for Topics *
