BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
A young whale is prompted from the words of a song his mom sang to him to go and explore the world. He meets an octopus and seagulls and is directed to the north pole to find the wise narwhal who directs him to a bay where he finds his brother and all manner of friends.
The illustrations in this book are stunning. They are cute and moody at the same time. The text is a bit on the lengthy side, but the story of finding a place in the world is tender.
