The Serpent Came to Gloucester by M. T. Anderson, illustrated by Bagram Ibatoulline

From the back of the book:
In a small Massachusetts fishing village in August of 1817, dozens of citizens reported seeing an enormous sea serpent swimming off the coast. Initially terrified of the creature, the people of Gloucester eventually became quite accustomed to their new neighbour. Though many people came to study and hunt the serpent, the creature eluded capture. The serpent was - and remains - a complete mystery.
