Bring the joy of summer alive with The Magic Sandcastle, the debut picture book from mental health campaigner and former journalist Clare Milford Haven, featuring evocative illustrations by David William Press.
Join the Fairchild children who have entered a sandcastle competition while staying with their grandmother in Nantucket for the summer holidays.
They spend all day constructing a beautiful fort complete with soldiers, a moat and turrets made from shells and debris washed up onto the white sandy beach. But overnight the tide hampers their dreams. Will their combined efforts be enough to clinch the winning trophy?
A journalist for 30 years, Clare Milford Haven has spent the past 15 years campaigning for men’s mental health since her eldest son James took his own life in 2006. The Magic Sandcastle is a tribute to James’ memory and gently reflects key values for young readers, including the importance of resilience, team work, tenacity in the face of adversity and the joy of outdoor play
