Honey Girl: The Hawaiian Monk Seal Review and Blog Tour

We are happy to our review of this book as part of a blog tour sponsored by The Children’s Book Review and Jeanne Walker Harvey.

Have you ever been to Hawaii? I haven't, but I hear that it is beautiful. Part of what makes it such a breathtaking and unique place to visit is the wildlife. Hawaiian locals and visitors have been enjoying the endangered Hawaiian monk seals for years. But the new book Honey Girl: the Hawaiian Monk Seal is about one very special seal -- Honey Girl! This seal has raised seven pups, and scientists have called her "Super Mom!" As a mom with 6 kids of her own, I can relate to how extraordinary such a task is!



The true story takes a turn, however, as Honey Girl becomes injured by a fishhook and becomes very ill. Through the teamwork and love of scientists and vets, she is nursed back to health and released to the wild to continue on her amazing journey!




This true story has so many elements that families will enjoy, including learning about the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, understanding how important it is to keep our natural surroundings clean and free from dangers to wildlife, and how we can have a big impact on our world! It is written for kids ages 5-8, but anyone will love the story!

Here's a trailer for the book that shares a bit more:
