This gentle story follows a child and their Gran as they explore the seashore, encounter a seal, and help clean their beloved beach after a storm. Lyrical text uses repetition and rich sensory details to evoke the rhythms and treasures of the sea. Softly colored art, with panels and dynamic textures, brings the ocean setting vividly to life, capturing nature’s calm and chaos. A hopeful tale about caring for the environment and connecting with the wild world.
