At its core, “Saltspray’s Library Surprise!” is an endearing tale centred around Saltspray, a curious and adventurous marine iguana. When a powerful storm sweeps away all of Saltspray’s cherished books, the charismatic iguana’s friends rally together to devise a plan that brings the joy of reading back to their island.

The artistic beauty of “Saltspray’s Library Surprise!” is brought to life by the talented Italian illustrator Graziella Miligi.
