A little sea lion pup is found shivering on the shore and taken to an aquarium to live. There she learns that family can be a different bond than she originally thought.
Crowley’s illustrations are just the right touch of sea-blue dreamy. The accompany story is short enough for a quick read, but only offers a taste information. A teacher or other reader needs to be prepared with links to the videos and info about the real 681’s story to flesh this out. Luckily a quick Google search will give you plenty of hits.
