Elisapee and Her Baby Seagull

Nancy Mike

Description

Short-listed for the Saskatchewan Young Readers' Choice Awards!

When Elisapee’s father brings home a baby seagull, Elisapee falls in love with the bird right away. She feeds and cares for her new friend, named Nau, and even helps Nau learn how to fly!

Nau grows, and grows, and grows some more, until she’s big enough to fly all over town and play with the other seagulls. Soon, it seems like Nau is ready to leave home for good, and Elisapee has to learn how to say goodbye.

Based on the author’s childhood experience, this charming story about learning to care for animals will delight young readers.

"The lively illustrations capture the emotion of the story and offer a glimpse into childhood in Nunavut." - Hakai Magazine

". . . [A] worthy addition to picture book collections in schools and public libraries." - CM Magazine

I dedicate this book to my lovely, kind-hearted mother, Eena Kullualik, who has worked tremendously hard for us and her family, my aunts and uncles. You inspire me every day. Mom, we love you!
