Críticas
An atmospheric, haunting story about a young boy whose father digs for coal beneath the sea. * The Bookseller * "Written by Joanne Schwartz and delightfully illustrated by Sydney Smith, Town is by the Sea is a quiet book that will stay with readers long after they have closed it." * Israel Book Review * "[...] this book is a stunning snapshot of a life [...] And while this is for the reader a rather haunting tale, it also highlights the beauty and happiness that can be found around us even when life can seem harsh. [...] The melodic text reads beautifully and the colour palette is stunning; Smith's work on conveying sunlight on the water is some of the most striking I have ever encountered [...] " * Library Mice * "A story, simply told, with beautifully evocative illustrations: this book is pure delight. [...] It is one which when shared and talked about will become a firm favourite." * The School Librarian * "I haven't read such a deeply affecting picturebook in years - it moved me to tears. [...] The pitch-perfect text and the outstanding illustrations which play with light and dark, summer sun and coal-seam black, combine to produce a masterpiece. I can't recommend it highly enough for older children and adults who are looking for something a little different." * Independent online, Ireland *
Reseña del editor
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.
