Once life was peaceful

The story starts out in amazing watercolour, as a young child plays with seashells in a colourful beachside world full of life and energy. Until …

A storm hits and the child is lost and afraid. She calls out for help, but nobody is there. Courageously, she searches for a place to call home.

She finds a young seal who’s also lost and afraid. They find comfort, hope, safety and inner strength in each other to move forward.
