How it begins

“Salt reaches Pip's nose first. Then cold, and wet sand, and something wide. Pip lifts both forepaws onto the ground and breathes the whole estuary in.”

Children will love

  • •A wide silver estuary at low tide, and a heron standing so still one foot never quite finishes its step
  • •Pip drawing a single short line on a map, from Halm's own feet to the water, when every direction looks the same
  • •A heron finally wading into the channel, leaving one soft grey feather behind as thanks
