In her first picture book, a renowned novelist weaves a gentle environmental message into a lyrical ode to family life at the seaside through the changing seasons.It’s stormy and t he beach is whipped.Ridged and raked, the dune’s a cliff.Swept and battered, littered, cluttered.Calm descends; we’re left with gifts.Camping on the beach in summer, flying kites in autumn, combing storm-whipped sands in winter, treasure hunts in spring—here is a magnificent tribute to life by the ocean throughout the year. In a joyful story charting a family’s adventures and celebrations—from New Year’s to birthdays—Esther Freud’s poetic text melds with Emma Chinnery’s sprightly, atmospheric illustrations to captivate little ocean lovers and budding conservationists.
