Selkie: A Scotish Folk Tale

Winner of the US Parent's Guide to Children's Media Award for Outstanding Achievement in Children's Books!

Peter has heard the legend of the Selkie seals who can turn into humans, but he can hardly believe it when he rescues a real live Selkie from the oysterman’s nets. Beautiful Selkie teaches Peter the secret language of the sea, but will this be enough to save them when danger threatens?

Illustrated in evocative colours, Selkie is a beautiful picture book for young readers.​

REVIEWS

"We are told Gillian McClure bases her illustrations on the experience of visits to the island of Colonsay. Whatever spirit informs them, they seem full of the sense of another time and another place; an experience genuinely created and preserved." - Quentin Blake

"A Book to treasure and revisit. The illustrations are perfect." - Carousel
