A young boy wakes as much as the sound of the ocean, visits his grandfather’s grave after lunch and springs home to a easy circle of relatives dinner, but all of the at the same time as his mind strays to his father digging for coal deep down under the ocean.

With curriculum connections to communities and the history of mining, this beautifully understated and haunting story brings a work of history to life. The ever present ocean and inevitable pattern of life in a maritime mining the city will enthrall children and move adult readers.
