A Small Blue Whale
What's This Book About
From New York Times bestselling author Beth Ferry (Stick and Stone) and talented newcomer Lisa Mundorff comes a gorgeous and utterly charming picture book about a lonely blue whale who learns the meaning of friendship. A small blue whale sits in a silver sea . . . wishing, wanting, waiting for a friend. Waiting is hard, but he doesn’t mind; he’s sure a friend will be worth the wait. First, the whale meets a quiet pink cloud, and he thinks this might be the friend he’s been waiting for. But when he finds himself in trouble, a group of penguins comes to his rescue and the small blue whale finally gets his wish. This heartwarming story about friendship–what it looks like, sounds like, tastes like, and feels like–will have readers agreeing that a true friend is definitely worth the wait.

The Creatives Behind the Book
Beth Ferry is the author of numerous books for young readers, including Stick and Stone, Land Shark, Ten Rules of the Birthday Wish and The Scarecrow. She is inspired by two main things: word play and the sea. Luckily, Beth is an avid reader who lives close to the beach so inspiration is never far away. In addition to picture books, Beth has begun writing graphic novels. Her first graphic novel for young readers, Fox and Rabbit, was published in April 2020.
Lisa Mundorff grew up in the Pacific Northwest, in a neighborhood and town that look an awful lot like those inhabited by the prairie dogs in Welcome Home. She feels lucky to have been raised by such a supportive community and is extra grateful for her family, who have given her a home in every sense of the word. Welcome Home is her picture book debut as an author-illustrator. She also created illustrations for A Small Blue Whale, written by Beth Ferry.
