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.

I liked that the seal kept coming back to see the boy. I also liked the seal saved the boy when he fell off his surf board.

I loved this book because the people were respectful in helping the seals and not being super close to them. I was really sad when the mummy seal died, but I thought it was lovely that the baby seal lived and went on to have her own seal pup.

This book is a nice story about friendship. It is a fictional book. I liked the grandad best, because if he hadn't of taken the boy to the beach, then they would of never met the mummy seal and her pup. I loved the pictures in the book. It's good that there is a disabled person, but it is just normal. I think my friends would like this book.

This book I needed help with as it was a long story. But I really enjoyed reading it and learning about the animals in the sea. I really want to try surfing.

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 forged between them. This powerful book demonstrates friendship flourishing across generations, species and abilities.
