Town Is by the Sea

Joanne Schwartz

Experience the contrast between a sparkling seaside day and the darkness underground where miners dig in this hauntingly beautiful story. Follow a young boy's day as he visits his grandfather's grave and his mind strays to his father digging for coal. Award-winning illustrator Sydney Smith's stunning illustrations will immerse you in the ever-present ocean and the pattern of life in a Cape Breton mining town. With connections to history and community, this book is a must-read for children and adults alike.
