From Jarvis, author-illustrator of the award-winning The Boy with Flowers in His Hair , comes a picture book that explores joyful, pure and wind-swept memories on a pebble beach between a grandad and grandson. A gorgeous book for children to share with grandad, 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. With 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 studied graphic design and previously worked as both a record sleeve designer and an animation director before becoming a children's book illustrator.
His books with Walker include The Boy with Flowers in His Hair, Follow Me, Flo!, Tropical Terry, Mrs Mole, I’m Home! and Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth, which won the V&A Best Illustrated Book.
He is also the illustrator of the much-loved "Pick a ..." series written by Patricia Toht, Pick a Pine Tree, Pick a Pumpkin and Pick a Perfect Egg. Jarvis lives in Manchester with his wife and their dog and cat.
About his picture book inspiration, Jarvis says, " The way I work is always visual. I will have an image or character in mind and I pull a story out of it. I doodle and doodle and doodle until I get it right ."
