Elisapee and Her Baby Seagull by Nancy Mike - ADVISABLE

Mike, Nancy Elisapee and Her Baby Seagull, illustrated by Charlene Chua.  PICTURE BOOK.  Inhabit Media, 2018.  $17.  9781772271669.

One day Elisapee’s father brings home a seagull chick for her to raise.  Nau, as the chick is called, becomes a fast friend and together the two grow and thrive.  One day however, not only does Nau learn to fly, but Elisapee realizes that Nau may leave her forever.

I love the Nunavut names and the one word the author includes.  The bright, clean illustrations add joy to the book.  What a great way to teach about letting something go with a bit of mourning, but then moving on.
