Sammie

Sammie: A Galapagos Adventure is a heartwarming and educational children's book that takes young readers on an unforgettable journey through the beautiful Galapagos Islands.

Sammie is a curious young Galapagos fur seal who loves exploring tide pools, splashing in the waves, and spending time with his animal friends. When Sammie asks his mother to play, she encourages him to stay in the shallow water and avoid the deep ocean where sharks live. Eager for adventure, Sammie sets off on his own to visit his friends Sally the Sally Lightfoot Crab, Manuel and Manuela the masked booby birds, Blue the blue-footed booby, Iggie the marine iguana, and Tomas the green sea turtle.

As Sammie travels around the island, each friend shares advice and warnings about the dangers that can be found in the ocean. Confident that nothing bad could happen to him, Sammie ignores their warnings and continues his adventures. Before long, he finds himself facing a real shark and discovers that the lessons shared by family and friends are sometimes more important than we realize.

Filled with colorful illustrations, lovable animal characters, exciting adventures, and gentle life lessons, Sammie: A Galapagos Adventure teaches children about friendship, responsibility, courage, listening to those who care about us, and helping others in times of need.
