Someday, Narwhal

"Kids will love this tiny little protagonist who dares to dream big." --Booklist

"The little narwhal from Strictly No Elephants gets her own story...Equally good as a stand-alone or for fans of the first book." --School Library Journal

In this charming companion to the award-winning picture book Strictly No Elephants, a tiny narwhal discovers that sometimes the difference between staying home and a big adventure is a group of loving friends.

Red front door. Potted plant. Umbrella stand. Piano. Red front door. Potted plant. Umbrella stand. Piano.

That's what the world looks like from inside Tiny Narwhal's fishbowl. It's not very exciting. She dreams of the world beyond: endless blue sky, tall buildings, a bridge. But Tiny Narwhal hasn't any feet and doesn't know the street names. And what if it's cold outside?

What this little narwhal does have, though, are good friends. With the help of her boy and his friends, plus a penguin, bat, and giraffe, Tiny Narwhal finally feels brave enough to go on an adventure.

Someday, Narwhal features the same adorable cast of pets and sweet, lyrical language as Lisa Mantchev's beloved Strictly No Elephants.
