Seal Surfer [Paperback]

A boy and his grandfather watch as a baby seal is born on the rocks near their home and from that day a special friendship is created between them. Despite his disability, the boy is a keen surfer, and he enjoys many afternoons surfing with the seals. One day, however, he gets into trouble in rough seas, and the young seal saves him. Their friendship brings happiness and meaning at the important stages of the boy's life.

From storm-tossed winter waves to quiet harbor nights, dramatic watercolors capture the changing moods of the sea.   —School Library Journal

At last, an imaginative story by a prominant artist that, with no patronizing assumptions, just includes a disabled boy.   —Disability Equality in Education and the Media
