From Jarvis, author-illustrator of the award-winning The Boy with Flowers in His Hair, comes a picture book that explores joyful, pure and wind-swept memories on a pebble beach between a grandad and grandson.A gorgeous book for children to share with grandad, Jarvis captures the kind of golden childhood memory that you carry with you, as comforting as holding a warm, smooth pebble in your hand. And when life changes, and people change, these pebbles stay with you always.With sweets stuffed in their pockets, a boy and his grandad take the trip down to the beach: through the wonky woods, across the railway track – stopping for a chat with the spotty dogs! – over the stile, and there ... peeking out beyond the dunes, the sea and "their" beach. They pick pebbles, wash them clean in the waves and paint their memories from the day, placing them in a special place – a secret place.

Rafi 和 Rita 是一對雙胞胎，他們幾乎什麼都一樣，只有一件事始終爭不出結果：到底誰比較高？Rafi 覺得自己高到要小心別撞到月亮，Rita 則說自己跟「高高龍」一樣高——而且那當然是一種真正存在的恐龍！兩個孩子你一句、我一句，越說越誇張，連一首超煩人的「我比你高」之歌都登場了。原本只是小小的手足較勁，最後卻發展成一場充滿想像力的爆笑比拚。本書由《Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth》作者 Jarvis 以幽默鮮明的文字創作，搭配《The Lonely Beast》創作者 Chris Judge 大膽明亮、表情豐富的插畫。故事節奏活潑，畫面甚至會因為角色「太高了」而需要把書轉過來看，讓閱讀本身也成為一場好玩的互動。Rafi and Rita are twins. They are almost exactly the same in every single way. Except … they both think they are the tallest!Rafi is so tall he has to be careful not to bang his head on the moon. Rita is as tall as a Tallasaurus, which is definitely a real dinosaur. Rafi is SO tall he’s written a (really annoying) song about it:I’m taller than youI’m taller than youI’m the Queen of Tall TownAnd it’s front-page news!Oh yes, I’m taller than you!A side-splittingly funny tale of sibling rivalry that escalates to a charming twist, with hilarious words by the inimitable Jarvis, author of Alan’s Big, Scary Teeth, and colourful illustrations throughout from the creator of The Lone
