Selkies Stories

Ben and his mute sister Saoirse live with their father Conor in a lighthouse, haunted by the mysterious disappearance of their mother Bronagh. When Saoirse discovers a magical coat that transforms her into a seal, Tad (the Song of the sea) reveals her as the last remaining 'seal-child' Through haunting flashbacks, we learn that after Mac Lir's ancient curse turned emotions to stone, the selkie people were systematically hunted to near-extinction. Bronagh, the sole survivor carrying the weight of her lost culture, has been living in hiding as a seal, watching over her children from afar while being pursued by Macha's brother, Kai, who seeks to eliminate the final selkie bloodlines When a comedic seagull urges Ben to help Saoirse find her people, a manipulative wolf tricks them into Macha's trap. Saoirse's journey becomes one of recognition when she encounters a mysterious seal who moves with haunting familiarity - slowly realizing it's Bronagh, her mother, who has been protecting her all along. As the last selkie, Saoirse must find the courage to sing the ancient song that will free both the cursed spirits and restore her grief-stricken family. It's a story about cultural survival, generational trauma, and a daughter's power to heal what was broken - not just in an entire lost civilization, her relationship with her brother. 2025 adaptation of the award-winning animated film, based on Tomm Moore's folklore trilogy.

I wrote The Selkie and the Wheelchair for a magazine and I decided to include it as a personal letter, dhuibhse, mo luchd-leughaidh gràdhach [to you, my darling readers].
