Cecily's Summer is the delightful tale of an abandoned seal pup's six week adventure into our human world. Finding the pup scared and alone on the beach, Nan Lincoln and her family rescue her and name her Cecily. Cecily takes us from the moments of anxiety waiting for Mom through all the ups and downs of adapting to the humans. Through the eyes of a seal pup we see the bond that is forged and eventually must be broken as she returns to her world. Nan Lincoln brought us the best selling The Summer of Cecily and now we hear Cecily's Story, beautifully illustrated by Patricia Wynne.

Nan Lincoln lives in Mount Desert Island where she is the art's editor, a feature writer and reporter for the Bar Harbor Times. Her Obits are quite literally to die for and she has written for Reader's Digest, Down East, Yankee and other nationally distributed magazines, most recently for Chicken Soup for the Soul. She is a winner of the Bob Drake Award for Journalism from the Maine Press Association and numerous other state, New England, and national awards for her writing. When not writing she sings in the Maine Women's Balkan Choir and walks her dog Amos who, curiously enough, looks very much like a seal.

Patricia Wynne is an award winning artist who lives with her husband, the artist, Donald Silver in New York City. She works at the American Museum of Natural History and teaches numerous courses when she is not illustrating books. Her books are frequently on Book of the Year Lists in Newsweek, Smithsonian Magazine, Scientific American, Parade, New York Times Book Review and others.
