Gulls screech. Waves splash. Baby Kekeno sniffs the salty air, shakes his flippers and looks around. Aotearoa New Zealand's native fur seals once teetered on the brink of extinction, yet today many have returned to our mainland shores. This story follows one spirited pup through the first year of his life as he learns to hunt, survive, and explore both sea and land, offering a vivid window into the secretive world of these remarkable marine mammals. At the end of the book are three pages of background information about fur seals together with a select bibliography for the child (or adult) who would like to know more. Ned Barraud's rich, detailed illustrations capture the drama and beauty of Aotearoa's rocky coasts, from crashing waves to strange inland wanderings. |
