About This Book

A pair of gentle children's tales follow a small, homesick boy who remembers sunlit days by the sea yet now lives in a large, austere house with many other boys. He struggles with teasing, longs for a private garden, and fears being left alone during long holidays; small acts of kindness from an older boy and the housemother provide comfort. Scenes alternate between bright memory and present anxieties, emphasizing themes of belonging, childhood vulnerability, and the solace found in simple friendships and caregiving.
