Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas

"World-renowned swimmer and bestselling author Lynne Cox and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca team up to bring us this inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged. Here is the incredible story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth decides to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all the way back to Christchurch. The volunteers catch her again and again—each time towing her farther, even hundreds of miles away—but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home. Includes back matter with information about elephant seals."Author: Cox, Lynne,author,Floca, Brian,author Contributors: Cox, Lynne,author,Floca, Brian,author Binding: paperback Number Of Pages: 48 Publication Date: Release Date: Languages: English,Published,English,Original Language,Englis Format: Picture Book Published/Release Date: 20 May 2025 Format: Paperback / softback Publisher/Studio/Brand: Random House USA Inc Author/Director/Artist: Lynne Cox Dimension (cm): 260x243x5 mm Package Dimension (cm): 11x258x242 mm Item Weight (g): 227 Package Weight (g): 222
