Age range 4+A wordless picture book that illustrates the power of friendships even when communication is not possible through language.In a small village by the sea the fishermen are full of tales and myths of monsters, pirates and mermaids, but there is one myth that may be true. On a fine, clear morning the men set sail. Reeling in the nets the youngest of the crew is dragged into the water. Rescued from the depths of the sea by a playful seal, a transformation occurs and a tender friendship is formed. This is a wordless picture book telling the tale of love and friendship across boundaries.'A visually arresting, haunting, wordless tale guaranteed to spark wonder.' — Kirkus Reviews 'Birch shares with us a timeless, ageless story of the love that can arise between humans and creatures of the wild — closer kin than we usually realize.' — Spirituality & Practice
