Seaside

A story of friendship, courage, and the pull of the open water.

By Wylde Scott Illustrated by Hannah K. Shuping

In the small fishing village of Seaside, a boy named Bobby dreams of becoming a fisherman just like his father before him. When he meets Walter, a curious young octopus, the two strike up an unlikely friendship that teaches Bobby more about the sea — and himself — than he ever expected. A gentle, salt-air adventure about chasing what you love, told through Hannah K. Shuping's richly detailed illustrations.

"Seaside has all the elements to become a classic children's book."
