Town is by the Sea

Written by: Joanne Schwartz
Illustrated by: Sydney Smith

Schwartz writes about life for a coal miner's child and what the life is like visually.  There is a very big focus on the sea and how the miners work under the sea.  The book explores all of the sounds, sights, smells and feelings from morning when the father is already gone to when he finally comes home in the evening after a long day at work.
