Dirt by Sea

A love-song to Australia in picture book form, featuring 40 pages of extraordinary comic-style illustrations. Explore our wonderful coastline and the joy of a family road-trip with Dad and Daisy. The hugely popular creators of Why I Love Footy and Why I Love Summer are back together with this celebration of what we love most about Australia, family holiday and classic Kombi vans! Dirt by Sea will have you dreaming of a holiday around Australia or maybe even planning one with the help of the journey map in the endpapers . . . Daisy lives in inland Australia with her dad and her grandparents. It’s home, and she loves the red dirt land around her. But when her dad realizes that she’s never seen the beach and thinks the Australian anthem is about a country ‘dirt by sea’, he sets off to show her the ocean in a once-in-a-lifetime father-daughter trip along the Australian coast, inspired by the first holiday he took with Daisy's mum.
