Good Night, Good Beach

This picture book distills the essence of summer at the beach: skin sticky with salt, sandy feet, waves hush-hushing, and a shell under the pillow. This simple poem by internationally renowned Joy Cowley transports the reader instantly to a childhood summer. Summer holidays by the sea have a rhythm all their own. With a few well-chosen images, Cowley takes us straight to the end of a long hot day, with beach treasures under the pillow, the sound of the waves, and the salty smell of the sea.
