Willie and Lucy at the sea-side : $b For very little children

Willie Gray, a bright‑eyed six‑year‑old, and his little sister Lucy are waking up to a day of adventure. Their nurse gently nudges them out of bed, reminding them of the trip to the seaside that awaits. As their father fills a wicker basket with buns, biscuits and cold chicken, the house hums with the excitement of packing and the promise of sand and waves. Together they share a simple prayer, asking for God's protection on the journey ahead.

The children’s enthusiasm is balanced by Lucy’s nervousness about the noisy train that will carry them onward, while Willie vows to look after his sister. Their parents reassure them that faith and each other's care will see them through any rough weather they might meet along the coast. Along the way they will discover the joys of a seaside landscape—spades, sand, and the sound of gulls—while learning patience and kindness. The story gently blends gentle adventure with moral comfort, making it an inviting listen for very young listeners.
