'When Left Shoe sails into the teeth of a storm, he catches sight of a strange object riding on the crest of a towering wave. But there is something else in the water too, deep in the silent blackness. Waiting. Watching.

Before Left Shoe can return to his village in Foamy Bay, he must find the courage to defeat the seadogs greatest enemy, and rescue something precious.

Left Shoe and the Foundling is the first in a series of picture books about the Sandburrow family and their life in the seaside village of Foamy Bay.

Annie O'Dowd has been observing the natural world, sketching seadogs and talking about their adventures for many years, mainly for the entertainment of her family. Her years of doodling, telling stories and day-dreaming have resulted in a series of edge-of-your-seat adventures full of cosy charm and captivating detail.' (Publisher's blurb)
