Spot Goes to the Beach

The book highlights the inspiring journey of Eric Hill, who transitioned from a messenger to a celebrated author and illustrator. His creation of Spot, a small puppy, originated from a bedtime story for his son, leading to the iconic lift-the-flap classic "Where's Spot?" in 1980. This success propelled him into a full-time writing career, with his Spot series captivating children globally. In recognition of his contributions to children's literacy, Hill received an OBE in 2008, underscoring his lasting impact on young readers.
