A Tale of Serendipity is more than an adventure story. It is a tale about the deep interconnectedness that exists between all living beings. It is about respect, empathy, compassion, dignity, integrity, honesty and collaboration. It illuminates the highest potential in humanity, as well as our deepest wounds. It is here to help our children grow up with the self-love, sense of empowerment and planetary compassion they're going to need as they discover and embrace their unique roles in our shared evolution.Ultimately, this unfolding tale is for the open-minded, open-hearted child in each of us, who still believes in (and is counting on ) a future where diversity is celebrated, conflicts are resolved peacefully, and our earth -- and all of her creatures -- are respected, protected and allowed to thrive.This is the story of a family of seals whose peaceful life is suddenly torn apart by a ravaging storm and a vicious seal-hunting ship. Forced to leave their mother and about-to-be-born sibling behind, the five young brothers Rutt, Ruff, Raul, Reck and Rup are whisked away by their father. Their escape turns into a journey that will change them all forever.How will the brothers learn what happened to their mother, and how can they possibly find her in the vastness of the ocean? And what about their newborn sibling? Did the little pup, born at the worst moment imaginable, survive the tempest and hunter's attack? Will Rutt, Ruff, Raul, Reck and Rup ever bring their family back together? Faced with this almost unsurmountable task, the five brothers must take things into their own hands, even if it means defying their father. Embarking on the serendipitous adventure of a lifetime, they enlist the magical help of their dolphin friends -- facing fears, solving puzzles and revealing secrets along the way.
What could be more endearing than the story of five little seal pups who go on a great, transformative adventure looking for their lost mother and baby brother? It will take all their courage, even breaking the rules of their strict father, to follow their intuition, their childlike hope and optimism. And, of course, it takes the help of some very special friends! A group of charming, eccentric dolphins brings not only wisdom but also magical gifts of love and a vision of very different social relationships. The author has created a whole ocean universe in her witty, funny language play and word inventions, beginning with the names of her pup heros, Rutt, Ruff, Raul, Reck and Rup. A book to read aloud and share the fun and suspense -- and the enchanting illustrations by the author -- with kids of any age and with the whole family."
