A character sheet of Lucy and some animals. Many poses show her helping a hermit crab, looking under a rock, holding a photo, sitting on a suitcase and holding her hand up to get attention. There is also a whale, a turtle, a hermit crab (in a crisp packet) and a crab.

Cover illustration for the book concept, showing Lucy peering into the water from a rock. A concerned whale and turtle look up at Lucy, surrounded by rubbish in the water.

A black and white world building sketch showing Lucy playing on the bay, leaping in between the rock pools.

A double page spread showing the concern as visitors arrive at the bay to the water full of rubbish, and Lucy looking alone and sad that it’s not how she remembered
