Patches was the 2017 Winner of the DeBary Outstanding Science Children's Book award.
Two polar explorers are out to solve a mystery: Where is their special seal, Patches?
Scientists Roxanne Beltran and Patrick Robinson set off on a polar adventure, traveling to Antarctica to study the lives of Weddell seals. By finding Patches, a wily seal they've been tracking since birth, they'll be able to learn a lot about how much the seals get to eat and how many pups they raise. A Seal Named Patches takes young readers to the very bottom of the globe, where they meet the extraordinary animals that live in cold, icy conditions. Through breathtaking photos and real-life stories, young readers will learn about how scientists do fieldwork, the challenges of researching animals in harsh climates, and even what it's like to fly in a helicopter over Antarctica. This engaging story will especially entertain and educate children ages 5-8 (grades K-2nd).
