"The poet A. M. Juster has a bit of fun with the name of an aquatic animal children tend to adore in Girlatee, a small, snug picture book illustrated by Grant Silverstein . . . in a wobbly lined drawing style reminiscent of Jerry Pinkney . . . Happily, this is a sweetly traditional story--child gets lost, child gets help, child finds her parents again--with an ending that'll come as a relief to readers."
--Wall Street Journal
Offshore there was a family--
a manatee, a mummatee,
and Grace, their little girlatee.
Girlatee is the story of a young manatee who becomes separated from her parents by a reckless man on a speedboat. She beaches on hot sand, and at first the people on the beach take selfies instead of helping her. When a kind beachgoer calls for assistance, two officers of the Game and Wildlife Department come and help the girlatee back into the ocean, where she is reunited with her parents. With beautiful rhymes and enchanting illustrations, Girlatee reminds us of the importance of family bonds and caring for others in distress.
For ages 2-6. Full page black and white illustrations throughout.
