Beskrivning

"A colourful, almost tangibly joyful picture book about a boy, his grandad and their days on the beach, painting pebbles to mark treasured memories." Guardian "A heartwarming story of connection, illustrated with Jarvis’s usual flair." The Irish TimesWith sweets stuffed in their pockets, a boy and his grandad take the trip down to the beach: through the wonky woods, across the railway track – stopping for a chat with the spotty dogs! – over the stile, and there ... peeking out beyond the dunes, the sea and "their" beach. They pick pebbles, wash them clean in the waves and paint their memories from the day, placing them in a special place – a secret place. Jarvis captures the kind of golden childhood memory that you carry with you, as comforting as holding a warm, smooth pebble in your hand. And when life changes, and people change, these pebbles stay with you always.

Sentimental and sweet, yet not mawkish, Our Pebbles celebrates the relationship between generations, and gently reflects on how golden childhood memories sustain us when we can no longer make the trip.
