I'm a huge fan of engaging picture book non-fiction, the kind that informs while still entertaining. So today I'm sharing "Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas" (2014), a beautiful true story of perseverance and finding your way home, wherever that may be. 📚📙📗 Written by renowned American open water swimmer Lynne Cox, and illustrated by Caldecott-winning artist Brian Floca, "Elizabeth" is the tale of an incredible, unusual elephant seal who decided she was a "city seal" and, to the delight of the inhabitants of Christchurch, New Zealand, would not be persuaded otherwise. 📗📙📚 Complete with informative postscript, this is a beautiful narrative suitable for a wide variety of ages. ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutskidsbooks #elizabethqueenoftheseas #lynnecox #brianfloca #elephantseals #elephantseal #christchurch #perseverance #home #findinghome #animalstories #nonfiction #nonfictionkidsbooks #nonfictionforkids #nonfictionbooksforkids #kidsnonfiction #childrensnonfiction #books4yourkids #beautifulchildrensbooks #picturebookstagram #bestkidsbooks #readingismagic #kidslitart #readingwithkids #picturebooks #whattoread #childrenbooks #childrensbookart #makereadingfun #familyreading https://www.instagram.com/p/B1TvcqAgL4r/?igshid=otn2jslm0siq
