Great story of a boy with a disability, his love for his Grandfather, his love for the ocean and a special seal that he bonds with.

Surfing and fishing, what fun!

Fun activities like surfing and fishing are explored and present an active an independent depiction of a boy with a physical disability. My five year old nephew loved it and so did I!

Great for animal and ocean lovers, beautiful colors, story.

Seal surfer is a story of a young boy and his friend, a seal. It contains themes of birth, life and death, and the enjoyment of time spent in nature and with animals. The artwork is gorgeous, especially the color and water views. The language is very descriptive and very sensitive. My four year old boy loved it!
