A Farm by the Sea

Imagine living on a farm by the water. After you finish your chores with your family, it's time to play on the beach, where the rockpools are meant for sipping on sea grass tea and dancing to the music of the waves. Jillian Packer's debut picture book shows us how a child's day spent first with family and then in nature makes her childhood rich with confidence, freedom, imagination and love.
