A Kenilworth author has announced her latest children's book which is inspired by her childhood summer holidays.

Fletcher and the Rockpool, by Julia Rawlinson will be released on Thursday, June 9 - the seventh in her Fletcher's Four Seasons series.

The new story sees easily-confused fox Fletcher discover the mystery of the tides and meet new friends on a summer trip to the beach.

The book encourages children to explore nature and provides an insight into why we need to look after the wildlife we discover there.

Publishers Graffeg describe it as a "gentle and uplifting tale".

Published by Graffeg, all the books are illustrated by Tiphanie Beeke

When writing and illustrating this book, Julia and illustrator Tiphanie Beeke took inspiration from summer holidays and the setting of the Norfolk coast.

Julia said: "Fletcher and the Rockpool is steeped in memories of my wonderful childhood holidays on the North Norfolk coast.

"My strongest memory is of seeing the beach for the first time each year, the sudden feeling of light and space and leaving the everyday world behind.

"Tiphanie has captured it perfectly [...] it was such wonderful luck that she grew up in Norfolk and knew the beaches I had visited as a child."

Fletcher and the Rockpool is the seventh book in the series and will be followed by Fletcher and the Stars this October.

Fletcher and the Rockpool will be available to purchase from Thursday, June 9
