Based on a true story, this sweet and playful picture book about a little lost narwhal introduces kids to the marine world and the surprising friendships under the sea.  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! This heartwarming story is the perfect gift for young kids starting school, daycare, or making new friends:  Little narwhal finds friends in new and unexpected places, helping kids to feel excited and empowered about relationship-building. Shares an important message about acceptance, empathy, and overcoming differences  The poetic language and playful illustrations are engaging and memorable  Includes a note from a marine biologist about the true events that inspired this story.

“A touching tale of overcoming obstacles, accepting one another, and finding common ground—or common water—despite our differences.” —Hakai Magazine  “This picture book about an interspecies friendship has plenty of lessons for humans, too.” —Kirkus Reviews “An unusual true story of friendship beyond species.” —The International Educator “Based on a true story of the remarkable friendship of a narwhal who was more than 600 miles from his home in the Arctic, and a group of beluga whales [...] Little Narwhal, Not Alone goes a long way in describing the possibilities of friendship for all living things.”  —Books to Borrow, Books to Buy
