An evocative and beautiful bedtime picture book about summer days spent at the beach - sandy feet, waves hush-hushing and a shell under the pillow - by internationally renowned author, Joy Cowley.
Summer holidays by the sea have a rhythm all of their own. With a few well-chosen words Cowley transports us instantly to a childhood summer of long hot days, every minute spent at the beach collecting treasures and listening to the sound of waves.
This simple poem is a perfect read-aloud bedtime book to share with babies, toddlers and the whole family, all summer long.

With a few resonant images, Cowley takes us straight to the end of a long hot day with beach treasures under the pillow and the salty smell of the sea.
