It's a fictional story based on fact about how the amazing northern elephant seal begins the first months of its life. Unlike many other mammals, a northern elephant seal pup is on its own after about four weeks of nursing. This is when the pup's mother leaves it behind and returns to the sea. This story tells, in the most simple of terms, of how an abandoned four-week old seal survives without an ounce of survival skills, including the ability to swim. The award-winning manuscript is now paired with lively photos of elephant seal pups, mothers, and rambunctious "weaners," who play on the beach and explore the water. Friends of the Elephant Seal write, "Isu Learns to Swim- The Story of a Northern Elephant Seal Pup in California" is an award-winning children's book by Charmaine Coimbra. This is a factual story about how northern elephant seal pups must learn to survive on their own when their mothers leave them on the beach, at only one month of age.
