Near the Channel Islands, off the coast of Santa Barbara, lived Lu-sea, an energetic sea lion pup who loved to sing. But when Lu-sea took music classes in school, she feared singing because her friends seemed more talented than she. Through her life span, Lu-sea did some amazing things. It was at her retirement that Lu-sea realized the influence she had left on so many in her community just by being herself.
Amador is an obedient, mild-mannered, and beloved pup by day. At midnight, with the help of his master’s magic slippers, he transforms into Chile, a bold, overconfident braggart. Chile is the life of the parties he starts—or so he thinks. When Amador’s master changes his slippers, there is no magic, and Amador’s disguise is revealed. His true friends assure him that Chile was not all he made himself out to be and that they liked him for who he really was.
