Synopsis

A young cow falls in love with a whale in this rhyming fantasy set in Maine’s Acadia National Park. The Keeper of the Sea angrily disapproves of the match. What does he do when the cow and whale produce a son? Danielle Armitage’s delightful full-color illustrations breathe life into the story and help readers learn about the Acadia region and Maine’s navigational buoys. The book also introduces young readers and listeners to words they might not know. The story includes a color-coded map to help children follow the Sea Cow's journey through Acadia National Park on Mount Desert Island and Schoodic Peninsula on the mainland.
