Make Your Bed with Skipper the Seal

Written by Admiral William H. McRaven and Illustrated by Howard McWilliam

When Skipper the seal begins Navy SEAL training, he and his hardworking friends discover that being a real SEAL is about much more than swimming fast or diving off a ship. To be your best, you have to take risks, learn from mistakes, and keep going even when things get tough—just like in everyday life. (And yes… remembering to make your bed really does help!)

In this playful children’s version of his #1 New York Times bestseller, Admiral William H. McRaven shares important life lessons from Navy SEAL training and inspires kids to be brave, responsible, and determined as they grow into their best selves.
