The Boy and the Seal

Leo, a boy who loves animals, spends a bright Saturday morning visiting a marine rescue center with his class. There he meets Marina, a marine expert who shows him a young seal pup that was found alone on the beach. Leo learns how the pup is fed, weighed, and kept in a clean and quiet pool, and he is fascinated by its blue tag and the careful attention it receives.

As the day continues, Leo helps Marina put together a new exhibit about seal care. He paints a sign, sorts photos, and arranges them on a board. The pup becomes playful and presses its nose to the glass where Leo's hand rests. Marina explains that playful seals are healing, and Leo feels proud of his contribution. This tale by Çınar BİBER introduces young readers to wildlife rescue and shows how even children can help by spreading awareness. It can be read on Masalcı Baba.
