About the book
A sea monster with a great big heart.
Seaweed McTweed looks like a sea monster, but he has a big heart and wants a friend. When other sea creatures judge him by what they see, and fellow monsters question his kindness, Seaweed keeps hold of the values that make him himself. Told in a musical rhyming style, this underwater story makes room for the anxiety of not fitting in while offering children a hopeful picture of friendship and self-worth. Its bright, playful world invites a shared read and an honest conversation afterward.
For children and grown-ups who value stories about belonging, kindness, and being understood.
