Little Narwhal, Not Alone

Based on a true story, this picture book about a little lost narwhal will appeal to readers of Unlikely Friendships for Kids and Stellaluna. When little narwhal sets off on an adventure to see new sights, he finds himself far from home, too far to return on his own. Scared and alone, narwhal looks for other narwhals but finds a pod of belugas instead. They don't speak his language or eat the same foods, but when the belugas begin to play--little narwhal knows exactly what to do! Poetic language and playful illustrations take readers along on narwhal's unexpected journey, which resonates with themes of acceptance and overcoming differences. Includes a fact sheet about narwhal whales and beluga whales from a marine biologist, Dr. Marie Noël, Research Manager of the Ocean Pollution Research Program at Ocean Wise, a not-for-profit organization whose vision is a world in which oceans are healthy and flourishing.
