Noah's Seal by Layn Marlow
Noah waits all day for Nana's boat to be ready so that they can go seal spotting. He waits and waits, and eventually takes matters into his own hands, building his very own seal out of sand-it's almost as good as the real thing. But it isn't long before a storm whips up, his seal is washed away, and Nana packs up ready to leave. Noah loses all hope that he'll ever spot a real-life seal, until something special happens.
Layn Marlow's utterly delightful story about a boy's love for seals and his faith in finding them is touching and sensitively told, illustrated in a mix of soft watercolours and beautifully detailsThere's something here about "if you build it, they will come" in Noah's summoning of the seals by building a sand one and imbuing it with love: a message about believing in our wishes and working hard to make them happen. * Booktrust *
