From Don’t Want To Go 1/2

This week we will be looking through the pages of Don’t Want to Go, a companion to Bobbo Goes to School.

One morning Lily’s mum did not want to get up. She just lay there with her eyes closed. She said that her head aches and her throat was sore.

Two little girls are burying their father’s legs in the sand so that only his toes are sticking out.
Some people are trying to get in or out of their bathing suits under towels, which is very difficult.

Lucy and Tom At the Seaside

The sea is much rougher and splashier than the swimming pool near home. It’s harder to swim in, but much more fun.

They go to the seaside in the train.
Tom keeps asking when they are going to get to the sea. Lucy wears her armbands in the train so as to be all ready to swim.

And there’s the sea!

One hot day Lucy and Tom and their Mum and Dad thought they would go to the seaside. Lucy is helping to pack up the picnic. There are sandwiches and hard-boiled eggs, apples, biscuits... and a lovely chocolate cake.

She gave me one of her pictures to take home. Sometimes I think it looks like waves, or the shape of a seal, or perhaps a woman swimming. Sometimes I think it looks like Morag with her hair spreading like dark weed on the water.

Selkies are seal people. They can cast off their skins and take human form. Once a fisherman saw a selkie playing with her sisters and he stole her skin so she couldn’t turn back into a seal. So she stayed and was a good wife to him...

Most of Morag’s paintings are of the sea. Morag sings a lot while she paints.
‘I expect it was a selkie you heard singing.’

From Sea Singing in Stories By Firelight

When I told Mum’s friend Morag about the singing she wasn’t in the least bit surprised. I was staying with Morag having a whole term off school. Her house is high up on the cliff. There’s a room with a big window where she does her painting.
