Noah waits all day for Nana's boat to be ready so that they can go seal spotting. He waits and waits, and eventually takes matters into his own hands, building his very own seal out of sand-it's almost as good as the real thing. But it isn't long before a storm whips up, his seal is washed away, and Nana packs up ready to leave. Noah loses all hope that he'll ever spot a real-life seal, until something special happens.

A tender story celebrating the imagination and thrill of adventure.

Reviews
"The watercolor [ . . . ] will take viewers right to the beach with its dreamy setting and detailed, textured waves of the ocean. This would make for a good readaloud to match the mood for a hot summer day, but the language is easy enough for older kids to try on their own." * The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *
"For those wistful for the seaside, Noah's Seal does not fail to enchant." * The Telegraph *
"Noah's Seal is a truly beautiful book. It's steady, encouraging text, and dedicated hero, creating something so possible, wonderful, magical, is inspiring." * Bookwagon *
