A seal between home and harbor

Andre’s story spans two habitats: the comfort of Harry Goodridge’s home and the waters of Penobscot Bay. The account centers on their friendship and on Andre’s yearly journey south for winter, followed by his return to Goodridge each spring. His place in Rockport life is part of the story too: the harbor seal became the town’s honorary harbormaster. Together, these details connect an individual animal’s seasonal movements with the human community that welcomed him.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 9–12 interested in nonfiction about animals.
  • Young readers curious about harbor seals and coastal Maine.
  • Readers drawn to true stories of relationships between people and animals.

Book overview

This is the true story of the unique friendship between Harry Goodridge and Andre, the harbor seal who was as comfortable in Goodridge's home as he was in Penobscot Bay. Andre became Rockport, Maine's honorary harbormaster and was ranked "second only to Andrew Wyeth as the state's most acclaimed summer resident." Year after year, Andre swam south in the winter, only to return again to Harry the next spring.
