Illustrations from the book

Watercolour spread from My Giant Sea Shell: a child and father reach towards the mother, drawn in grey, drifting away in a large wave while their dog watches. The text reads: I can't hear her laughter. I can't see her sparkle. Her smile has faded and her stories have stopped. She has drifted away like a shell lost at sea. I want to bring her back.
Watercolour spread from My Giant Sea Shell: the child, dressed as a pirate, stands on a treasure chest waving a toy sword while the smiling mother sits on the sand wrapped in a blanket, reaching out to their dog. The text reads: One day she'll come all the way back, with sea shells and pirate beads.

Listen to Amanda talking to Ken Williams of Reading with a chance of Tacos about her writing journey.
