  One evening a little girl and her mother go out across the fields and down to the shore. They paddle and splash in the water, they make footprints in the sand, they sit and stare at the lights in the bay. It is a night they will always remember, just the two of them together by the big big sea. Martin Waddell has also written Can't You Sleep, Little Bear?
