A charming seaside tale for newly independent readers aged 5+
Young readers will be delighted by A Sea of Stories by Sylvia Bishop. Plus they'll have fun with the accompanying activity pack which we created for Parrot Street Book Club subscribers in December 2024.
“A Sea of Stories is an inspiring tale about the importance of sharing stories. Roo and her grandfather have a lovely relationship that really sits at the heart of this gentle book. With stunning full-colour illustrations throughout, this is perfect for those transitioning from picture books to chapter books for the first time.”
~Sarah
Whenever Roo visits Grandpa, she loves exploring the seaside cove near his cottage. But on her latest stay, Grandpa explains that he can’t go down there any more – the path is too steep and overgrown for him to manage. Instead Grandpa tells Roo the stories behind the many objects that fill his house. All of Grandpa’s stories feature the cove and Roo realizes that now, even though they’re so close to the sea, Grandpa is cut off from it. Is there anything she can do to bring Grandpa to the place he loves the most?
Sylvia Bishop is the author of the much-loved ERICA'S ELEPHANT and THE BOOKSHOP GIRL. When not writing, Sylvia is also one half of improvised comedy duo the Peablossom Cabaret. She lives in London.
The activity pack includes book club-style questions to ponder, facts about fishing and the sea, and a delicious recipe for homemade fish and chips, alongside stickers, jokes and further reading recommendations. Solve our wordy treasure hunt, draw your favourite place to visit and create a seaside sunset picture!

We are a monthly book subscription by post for children aged 5 to 14, focused on helping families discover new and different chapter books.
This title was sent to subscribers in the Parakeet reading group, aged roughly 5 to 8, who are emerging or newly independent readers. Many in this group prefer to listen to the books being read aloud by an adult.
