SynopsisA little girl misses having anyone to play with on the beach -- until she realises she can create a companion of her own. But what will she do when her sand sister must return to the sea? This touching story is all about the power of the imagination. AGES: 3-7 AUTHOR: Amanda White was born and brought up in London but now lives with her family in Cornwall, having been lured there by the beautiful landscape and thriving arts scene. An only child herself, she easily identifies with the main character in 'Sand Sister'. Amanda is married to an architect and has three children. ILLUSTRATOR: Yuyi Morales is an award-winning artist, author, puppet maker and former host of a Spanish-language storytelling show. A native of Mexico, Yuyi now lives in California. She says of her work, "What I am trying to do through my books is mostly to surround myself with the things I love, the stories that bring me closer to my homeland, the tales and customs I want my son to know."
