The Little Sea Dragon

Deep under the bright blue sea, a leafy seadragon named Finn lives a calm, quiet life on a colorful reef, drifting past pink corals and purple sponges and feeling safe beneath the leaf-shaped fronds that cover his golden-tan body. One morning a tiny seahorse named Pip zips past his nose, swimming fast circles around him and asking whether he would like to go on an adventure. Finn hesitates, because he knows he cannot swim fast, but Pip simply answers that she can swim slow, and the two set off together.

As they travel past striped fish, wiggly eels and crabs wearing shells like hats, the water grows deeper and darker. Pip's bright orange body glows like a little lantern, and the friends discover that neither of them feels afraid when the other is near. They wait for each other, laugh together, and finally push through a wall of seaweed to find a hidden meadow glowing with sea plants in every color they had ever dreamed of.
