A love-song to Australia in picture book form, featuring 40 pages of extraordinary comic-style illustrations. Explore our wonderful coastline and the joy of a family road-trip with Dad and Daisy. The hugely popular creators of Why I Love Footy and Why I Love Summer are back together with this celebration of what we love most about Australia, family holiday and classic Kombi vans! Dirt by Sea will have you dreaming of a holiday around Australia or maybe even planning one with the help of the journey map in the endpapers . . . Daisy lives in inland Australia with her dad and her grandparents. It' s home, and she loves the red dirt land around her. But when her dad realises that she' s never seen the beach and thinks the Australian anthem is about a country ' dirt by sea' , he sets off to show her the ocean in a once-in-a-lifetime father-daughter trip along the Australian coast, inspired by the first holiday he took with Daisy' s mum.
