Five Steps to the Lighthouse

Jack Bramble

A satchel by the door, sand between your toes, and a rope made of your own voice to pull you forward. This is the story of one small child crossing one very big beach, step by careful step, with biscuits at groynes and treasures the tide leaves behind. Best for ages 4 to 7, especially children who like to take their time and notice things. Angus Ferrier reads with the gentle patience of someone who remembers exactly how enormous the world once felt, his voice steady as a held hand on a first solo walk.
