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.“A masterpiece. I can't recommend it highly enough.” The Independent "An atmospheric, haunting story." The Bookseller“Beautifully evocative. This book is pure delight.” The School LibrarianStunning 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.

She revels in this strangeness of the familiar, and eventually her dream comes back to her in all its surrealness.When she meets a friend, she feels solid and connected again, part of the world — but she doesn't lose the gifts that this strange morning gave her: the quietly profound wonder of the everyday and the joy of being present.Joanne Schwartz's lyrical text and Afsaneh Sanei's gorgeous art are a dreamy pairing that will reward readers with something special in every read.

Från vårt hus kan jag se havet … En pojke vaknar en sommarmorgon och tittar ut över havet. Han tillbringar dagen ungefär som han brukar, träffar en kompis, går och handlar åt sin mamma och besöker sin farfars grav. Men hela tiden vandrar hans tankar iväg till hans far, som bryter kol djupt nere under havet. Joanne Schwartz vackra, enkla och mjuka berättelse blåser liv i ett stycke historia och öppnar våra ögon för ett sätt att leva som länge har präglat många trakter runt om på jorden. De stämningsfulla illustrationerna av Sydney Smith visar upp den slående kontrasten mellan en glittrande sommardag vid kusten och mörkret under jorden där gruvarbetarna sliter.

Han har illustrerat många barnböcker, däribland den ordlösa bilderboken Sidewalk Flowers , efter idéer av JonArno Lawson, vilken belönades med flera utmärkelser.
