Description
A young boy's thoughts are filled with his father, who is digging for coal deep under the sea. The contrast between the sparkling seaside day above and the darkness of the mine below is starkly illustrated by Sydney Smith's award-winning artwork. As the boy goes about his day, his mind often wanders to his father's work, while the ever-present ocean and the rhythms of life in a mining town provide a subtle backdrop to his thoughts. This beautifully understated story brings a piece of mining history to life, and its haunting atmosphere will resonate with both children and adults.
