“The balls are stacked high,” Clipper says using clicks.
“Let’s build with the balls and use them like bricks!”
Clawzo’s delighted. “What shall we make?
Before the tide comes and the sculptures all break?”

Clipper and Clawzo love to build sculptures in the sand together, but when Clipper is swept away with the tide, Clawzo must find her friend.

As a child, Tim Ewins loved searching beaches and rockpools for crabs and other magical creatures. 

His first novel, We Are Animals, was published in 2021, followed by Tiny Pieces of Enid in 2023. In 2025 he released the non-fiction title Pension Gangster. 

Clipper and Clawzo is his first picture book. When not writing, Tim enjoys learning about football, reading (of course), and playing on the beach with his wife and son.
