Join us for a book signing event with Lynne Cox!

FCMA is hosting this event with open-water swimmer Lynne Cox. Lynne will read an excerpt from her new children’s book Elizabeth, Queen of the Seas in the Auditorium and sign copies of her book in the Gift Shop. Call the Gift Shop to reserve your copy 310-548-7562.

About the book:
World-renowned swimmer and bestselling author Lynne Cox and Caldecott Medal-winning illustrator Brian Floca team up to bring us this inspiring story of an elephant seal who knew exactly where she belonged.

Here is the incredible story of Elizabeth, a real-life elephant seal who made her home in the Avon River in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand. When Elizabeth decides to stretch out across a two-lane road, the citizens worry she might get hurt or cause traffic accidents, so a group of volunteers tows her out to sea. But Elizabeth swims all the way back to Christchurch. The volunteers catch her again and again—each time towing her farther, even hundreds of miles away—but, still, Elizabeth finds her way back home.

This is a FREE event.

Stay for the FRIENDS Members Only Grunion Run that starts after the book signing.
