The Girl and the Rainbow Seal

Lily is a curious and talkative girl who wears red rubber boots and a yellow raincoat, and she enjoys exploring the shore on bright mornings. One day she finds a grey-blue seal with rainbow stripes along its back and flippers, wearing a necklace of tiny seashells. She names the seal Rainbow, and the two quickly become friends. Rainbow then leads Lily along a rocky path, past tide pools filled with tiny fish and sea anemones, to a hidden cove where colorful flowers grow right on the sand and a sparkling stream runs through the middle.

In this enchanted garden, Lily meets Sandy, a small crab with a coral-orange shell, one oversized claw, and a tiny purple flower behind an eye stalk. Sandy guards the garden and is at first wary of a human visitor. Through games of hide-and-seek, gentle talk, and a shared meal of stories, the three become friends, and Lily learns that the glowing flowers shine only when someone kind is near.
