World-renowned swimmer and bestselling writer Lynne Cox and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca team as much as bring us this inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged.

Here is the unbelievable story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home within the Avon River within the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth comes to a decision to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all of the as far back as Christchurch. The volunteers catch her time and again—every time towing her farther, even hundreds of miles away—but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home.

Includes back matter with details about elephant seals.
