About

Inspired by Alison Lester's much-loved classic, this is the book of the film by Paper Planes creator Robert Connolly, featuring the work of eleven world-class animators plus live action stills, with illustrations and verses from the original book.

Ten children find themselves on a Magic Beach of their imagination. They explore caves, build giant sandcastles, poke around rock pools and converse with sea animals. They dive with horses in the waves and play with magical underwater creatures. Sandcastles are built and destroyed in terrible wars. Pirates smuggle treasure into caves. And Dreamtime serpents fly through the sky and shed their scales.

The dreams of these children are limitless and the magic of the beach will be in their hearts forever.


Alison Lester's Magic Beach has been in print for over 35 years and is now brought to life by eleven world-class animators: Emma Kelly, Susan Danta, Lee Whitmore, Anthony Lucas, Kathy Sarpi, Eddie White, Simon Rippingale, Pierce Davison, Marieka Walsh, Susie Shapones and Jake Duczynski.

Featuring an incredible range of artwork in tribute to an enduring Australian classic.
