Seal on the Beach - 'A Story to Treasure, to Remember, to Dream Of.' Michael Morpurgo

An inspiring story of hope and survival written and illustrated with lyricism, empathy and warmth.

Little Maggie is on holiday with her aunt and uncle. Meanwhile her mum waits for Maggie's baby brother to come home from hospital. On a walk across the wild Norfolk shoreline, Maggie finds a seal pup stranded on the beach, all alone. She is the sweetest thing Maggie has ever seen. But without her mum, how will the seal survive? Who will rescue her and will she ever be returned to the sea, and find her family again? Expressed through her vivid dreams and thoughtful actions, Maggie longs for the rescue and survival of this dear little seal pup. And, all the while, she hopes with all her heart to be reunited with her own mum and baby brother again.
