While a young boy enjoys a summer's day, his thoughts constantly return to his father, who is digging for coal deep under the sea. "An atmospheric, haunting story" - The Bookseller
Stunning illustrations by
Sydney Smith, the award-winning illustrator of Footpath Flowers, show
the striking contrast between a sparkling seaside day and the darkness
underground where the miners dig. This beautifully understated and
haunting story brings a piece of mining history to life.
The
ever-present ocean and inevitable pattern of life in a mining town will
enthral children and move adult readers, as a young boy wakes up to the
sound of the sea, visits his grandfather's grave after lunch and comes
home to a cosy dinner with his family, but all the while his mind strays
to his father digging for coal deep down under the sea.
