Wet Pebbles Under Our Feet

Author: Manya Stojic

The evocative magic and mystery of the sea rise and fall in this lyrical family tale, packed full of memories. ‘Far away in the deep blue sea is a small island with a pebbly shore…’ This was the home of a fisherman, his wife and three children. Whilst the younger generation have grown and left the island, they return, now bringing a grandchild. With lots of warm nostalgia, all the family tells tales of their upbringing in this magical place. The illustrations are in zingy, vibrant colours, with lots of close-ups of the three generations. The text is large and bold, with emphasis brought to many words and phrases by an increase in text size. No young reader will handle this book without understanding that there is a special message related here.
