Emily by the Sea

Emily by the Sea is a charming, gentle story about a little girl named Emily who lives by the ocean. Every evening, she kneels by her bed to say her prayers, asking that the sand always stay on the shore. The sand, a constant presence, comforts her, as it's always there when she wakes up in the morning. But one night, Emily wakes earlier than usual, only to find the sand has disappeared. In a state of worry and confusion, she rushes to her father for an explanation. With patience and love, he reassures her that the sand will return with the rising tide, as it always does.

The next morning, Emily is relieved to find the sand back on the shore, just as it had been before. This tender story gently introduces children to the idea of the natural cycles of the world, illustrating that while things may sometimes seem to disappear or change, they often return in their own time. Through Emily's journey of understanding, young readers will learn to find comfort in the rhythms of life and gain reassurance that everything has its place and purpose.

Written with a soothing rhythm and accompanied by beautiful illustrations, Emily and the Sand by the Sea offers a heartwarming bedtime read that encourages calm and reflection. It's a perfect story for children, providing both a sense of wonder and a meaningful lesson about patience, reassurance, and the natural world.
