About this book:
Inspired by a real event, this heartwarming tale follows a curious narwhal who gets separated from his family. Venturing out to explore, he finds himself hopelessly lost in the vast Arctic ocean. Fear sets in as he searches for familiar faces, his calls met only by silence. But wait! A pod of belugas appears, unlike any creatures he's ever encountered. Their clicks and whistles are a foreign language, and their plump bodies seem odd compared to his sleek form. Discouraged, the little narwhal feels utterly alone. Yet, a playful nudge from a beluga pup sparks something unexpected. In the universal language of games, he discovers a joyful connection, proving that friendship can blossom even in the face of differences.
Includes a note from a marine biologist about the true events that inspired this story.
