Selby

  Author:   Don Downer  
  Artist :   Gisele LeBlanc    
  Publisher:  Cape Breton University Press

In this story, biologist Downer takes a different approach from his two previous books (Selina: An Atlantic Salmon and Schnider’s World: A Harp Seal Story). Selby’s habitat and life cycle, are explored in perspective with the lobster fisherman who wants to catch him. Readers learn about the Atlantic lobster and about the people who struggle to make a living by harvesting them.

The story follows Selby’s life in Ragged Harbour, foraging for food avoiding predators, including Jake the lobster fisher, who really wants to catch Selby. A fierce storm destroys a lot of Jake’s fishing gear and brings about a change in the way he regards the sea and its many creatures –including Selby the Lobster.
