Many years have passed since the mysterious disappearance of their mother, leaving siblings Ben and Saoirse in a state of profound grief. Their lighthouse-keeper father, too, struggles to cope with the loss, his heart heavy with sorrow. Ben holds his younger sister responsible for their mother's absence, unable to forgive her for the pain he feels. Despite her tender age of six, Saoirse remains silent, her voice lost to the depths of her sorrow.

However, when the children stumble upon the truth—that Saoirse is a selkie, and the magical world their mother once told them about exists beyond their wildest dreams—they embark on a perilous journey to prevent the spirit world from vanishing forever. Fueled by their newfound knowledge and a deep sense of familial responsibility, they brave the treacherous waters and face formidable creatures in their quest to save the realm.

Based on the award-winning film Song of the Sea, this graphic novel is a breathtaking testament to magical storytelling and visual splendor. With an 18-page bonus story written and illustrated by film creator Tomm Moore and a Gaelic glossary, it is destined to become a cherished classic, joining the ranks of other masterpieces like Wolfwalkers and The Secret of Kells in Cartoon Saloon's Irish Folklore Trilogy.

Song of the Sea stands as a shining example of the power of storytelling to transcend boundaries and connect hearts, leaving a lasting impression on all who encounter its captivating tale.
