Rona the seal loves to sing. She sings when she’s happy. She sings when she’s sad. Some of Rona’s other animal neighbors find her songs to be a little shrill though. So, Rona takes musical tips from whales, sea birds and dolphins. Still her singing doesn’t win over admirers. Until, one night, Rona finds a whole beach full of other seals singing under the light of the moon. It’s a giant chorus, and it sounds great! This is a story about learning to embrace one’s own untutored energy, to have faith in our innate ability to express ourselves with passion and style. It's a story about the ways that community can sustain individuality, too. With lovely colorful paintings of rocky coasts, wildlife and seascapes, The Seal Who Loved to Sing is a sweet and touching story for youngsters. 32 page paperback. By Zoe Stevenson and Lynsey Bland.
