Beach finds with character

Swiss singer-songwriter Andrew Bond doesn’t just play with words and sounds, but also with beachcombed treasures. The wilder and more desolate a beach, the more vibrant the world of creatures he brings to life. Stones, shells, feathers, bones, pinecones, seaweed, and much more come together to form endearing beach critters or fearsome beach creatures. Whether it’s a Curly Chatter, Mermaid Hiss, Sponge-ingo, or a Stickodile – they come to life during his travels to unfamiliar lands or on local shores. And if they don’t mind, he even takes their picture. Using his own stories and loads of pictures, Andrew Bond takes us on a beachcombing expedition and shows us how we, too, can easily create our own magical creatures.

Andrew Bond: is an author, children’s songwriter, and musical composer. His first album, “Zimetschtern han i gern”, became an instant bestseller. It was followed by dozens of other albums, audio stories, and musicals, as well as several children’s books. In his free time, you can find Andrew in his huge garden, hiking, or drawing – when he’s not at the beach, that is.
