Today's the day - Iggy's going

to catch a wave without any help!

Or at least that's what Grandad thinks.

Iggy isn't quite so sure.

What follows is an unforgettable beach adventure that involves the best sandcastle ever built, fish and chips for lunch, lots of boats and a few perfect waves.

Here is a story about the unique beauty of the Australian coast, the universal magic of the ocean, and the importance of finding your own way.

About the Author

In 2018, Gwyn's first picture book in his Iggy and Grandad series, A Walk in the Bush, won the Children's Book Council of Australia's Picture Book of the Year Award.
