The Selkie Girl

Fergus lives with his father by the sea, but is lonely.

He wants a friend more than anything. One day Fergus finds treasure on the a beautiful fur blanket hidden in the rocks. But Fergus doesn't know that his treasure belongs to someone else -- a selkie girl has lost her seal skin and can't go home to the sea without it. Will Fergus give his new friend what she needs, and risk being lonely again?

This is a lovely retelling of the traditional Scottish folk tale of the selkie (a seal who can become human).  Written by Janis Mackay, the tale is accompanied by stunning illustrations by Ruchi Mhasane.
