‘Days at the beach are the best!’
Jack and Mia love the beach – splashing in waves, building sandcastles and exploring rock pools. But being at the beach is much more fun when they protect themselves from the sun!
Fun in the Sun is a delightful rhyming picture book about the dynamic duo Jack and Mia, their beachside adventure, the power and beauty of nature and the importance of sun-safe fun.
Written by experienced dermatologist Dr Annika Smith and endorsed by the Cancer Council and the Melanoma Institute Australia.
