Good Night, Good Beach

"This picture book distils the essence of summer at the beachskin sticky with salt, sandy feet, waves hush-hushing and a shell under the pillow. This simple poem by internationally renowned Joy Cowley transports the reader instantly to a childhood summer. Summer holidays by the sea have a rhythm all their own. With a few well chosen images Cowley takes us straight to the end of a long hot day, with beach treasures under the pillow, the sound of the waves and the salty smell of the sea"--
