LONGLISTED, 2018 AUSTRALIAN BOOK INDUSTRY AWARDS, SMALL PUBLISHERS' CHILDREN'S BOOK OF THE YEAR
SHORTLISTED, 2018 SPEECH PATHOLOGY AUSTRALIA BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS, BIRTH TO THREE YEARS
This delightful book for Early Childhood will mesmerise young children and older readers. The black linework and colourful wash backgrounds work beautifully with the lyrical text. Together they introduce extraordinary creatures and birds that we can discover and observe around our Australian coastline. ‘Dancing jellyfish’, ‘scuttling crabs’, ‘scattered shells’, ‘drifting seaweed’ and ‘waving coral’ evoke the wonder of our beaches and the treasures to be found.
Second release of the ‘Young Art’ Board Book series that showcases young Indigenous artists.
Kamsani Bin Salleh - Is descended from the Ballardong Noongar people and Nimunburr and Yawuru peoples of the Kimberley. He is an emerging artist/multi-media practitioner who is garnering attention for his ability to reflect the natural world with intricate designs and striking black line work.
In 2016, Kamsani was one of ten artists asked to capture their view of Perth and WA as part of PerthNow’s 10th birthday celebrations. That same year he was awarded an Indigenous Creators Scholarship through Magabala Books to develop his skills as an illustrator. He holds a Bachelor of Communication and Media Studies from the University of WA and is currently the Creative Art Director for UniHall at UWA.
At the Beach I See is his debut children’s picture book.

My Early Childhood Philosophy -
Childhood is a unique time of life, to be enjoyed and valued. It is a time where the foundations for lifelong learning and wellbeing are laid. As a professional early childhood educator first and foremost in all that I do, is the rights of the child.
I acknowledge the traditional people of the land on which I live and work. I pay my respects to elders, past and present as they hold the traditions and hopes for the future of this land.
