The Seal with a Pink Bow: A picture book for young kids to explore their imagination

by Ellen B Alden, Peter Zafris (Illustrator)

Overview

I'm bored! Five-year-old Jillian doesn't enjoy sailing with her father and older brothers. They won't let her help, and they make it abundantly clear that she is in the way. It's not fun! Her father urges her to search for a seal with a pink bow in the ocean, and when she discovers Mary, Jillian's imagination soars! Soon she is talking and playing with a baby harbor seal, and creating new adventures all summer long. Even when the cold weather arrives and Jillian can't sail, she knows that Mary will always come back when she uses her power of imagination!

The Seal with a Pink Bow is a story of a special relationship between a father and his daughter, and the gift of creativity and self-entertainment he shares with her. It is perfect for preschool and early readers.
