Picture Storybooks
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
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. A timeless story from acclaimed novelist Esther Freud about the importance of spending time together - from tiny moments playing in the sand to bigger milestones of birthdays and New Year Day swims - together in a very special place.
