Starving from the scarce seagrass, Mum tellsRoly that soon, when he is old enough, they will set out in search of a havenfor dugong like them where seagrass still thrives. But the journey is perilous,she warns. To survive, he must stay close. Stunning seascapeillustrations serve as a reminder of the hidden beauty that we could lose.
