Description

The day finally comes for Sammy to leave his home and migrate out to sea. However Sammy, being so curious, gets himself into a bit of bother along the way. Will he be big and brave enough to survive the odds and save his friends?

With colourful illustrations and rhyming throughout, Sammy the Salmon Ventures to Greenland is about adapting to big changes, solving problems and believing in yourself. It is a unique metaphor for children’s changing bodies and skill development as they mature throughout life.

By collaborating with Atlantic Salmon Conservationists across Ireland, the story is funny but also factual and educational. Atlantic Salmon begin their lives in freshwater rivers until their bodies undergo a transformation for them to survive in saltwater. They migrate thousands of miles towards Greenland to grow big and strong. After years out at sea they accurately navigate their way back home to their native river to spawn. Wild Atlantic salmon are currently endangered and this story includes some of the reasons why.

Recommended for children aged approximately 2-5 years old.
