This strikingly illustrated book presents the story of Little Whale, who through her interactions with a number of other sea-life characters learns that there is plenty to go around when we all share.

Children will delight in the striking illustrations of this hardcover picture book, which follows the adventures of Little Whale as she encounters a number of other sea-life creatures while out on a swim with her pod. Little Whale wants to lead the pod, but when she heads to the front, she sees that her friend Blue is already there. Little Whale doesn’t want to share being the leader, so she sulks back to Mom. With the help of her friends, Little Whale learns that when everyone shares, there is plenty to go around.
 
Jonny Lambert grew up in Surrey, England, and always knew he wanted to be an artist of some sort. Encouraged by his art instructor at the Reigate School of Art and Design, Jonny is now an artist of many sorts: a talented illustrator with more than 300 titles to his name, designer, and paper engineer. He lives with his wife, daughter, and a menagerie of animals in West Sussex, England.

Author-illustrator Lambert showcases the varieties of sharing through this tale of a baby whale, which follows a pod of northbound humpbacks. The illustrations—layered blues and whites done in collage texture—will give readers the feeling of traveling along with Little Whale and her mother through the ocean depths. Conflicts and frustrations arise along the way, though. Little Whale wants to lead the pod, but so does her friend Blue. Little Whale’s mother suggests they take turns, but Little Whale refuses and beats a sulky retreat. When a tasty-looking school of silvery fish swims overhead, huge gannets (a type of seabird) swoop in, screaming, “MINE! MINE! MINE!” Little Whale is enlightened by a wise turtle in the coral reef on how its inhabitants all share. As Little Whale navigates the challenges of taking turns as well as sharing resources and even her mother’s love with Blue (who wants to swim next to Little Whale’s mother), this story shows how difficult—and rewarding—sharing can be. --Booklist
