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 ClarkFrom 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.
