A story for anyone who likes to spend a day at the beach, and for everyone who has ever pondered the big questions about our place in the universe.

Rae and Grandad set out to build a sandcastle.
They make a tall tower.
They raise great ramparts.
They dig a deep moat.
They even find a dragon.
But will it be enough to hold the tide?

Sandcastle is a beautiful exploration of the ebb and flow of life.

Philip Bunting

Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, with a soft spot for creating picture books for sleep-deprived, time-poor, raisin-encrusted parents (and their children).

Philip’s work deliberately encourages playful interaction between the reader and child, allowing his books to create a platform for genuine intergenerational engagement and fun. He believes that the more fun the child has during their early reading experiences, the more likely they will be to return to books, improve their emergent literacy skills, and later find joy in reading and learning.

Philip’s books have been translated into multiple languages and published in more than 25 countries around the world. Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018. Philip grew up in the England’s Lake District and now lives with his young family in the hills behind Noosa.

I picked up Sandcastle because of the beautiful cover, but I was so surprised and pleased to be able to find a picture book with such depth. The concept is about how we're all made from atoms that have been around since the universe began (and how our atoms will go on to become other things), delivered through the metaphor of a sandcastle, with awe-inspiring delicacy.

Keep an eye on the crab! And the grandpa towards the end of the book.

This is a must-read for parents and kids.
