Emma worked for several years as a graphic artist before her passion for children’s books led her to study on the MA Children’s Book Illustration course at the Cambridge School of Art.

the book reads like a nostalgic series of snapshots, capturing moments of family life by the coast across all weathers and occasions, including icy waves, autumn winds and New Year’s Eve celebrations... Emma Chinnery’s watercolour illustrations bring a timeless feel to the pages... A beautiful, evocative title that makes a wonderful addition to early years and KS1 bookshelves.
