The lovely ink and watercolor paintings and text tell the true story of the female elephant seal who wanted to stay in the Avon River which flows through Christchurch, New Zealand. The seal had been towed away several times, as far as several hundred miles away, but the seal always found her way back. I was impressed by the story and the illustrations, which I thought were very successful in depicting just how large this elephant seal was. I was just amazed by the story of an elephant seal who preferred the company of people and the environs of the Avon, to other elephant seals and the ocean.
