Not Quite Narwhal by Jessie Sima
Kelp doesn't mind being a little different from the other narwhals. But when a strong current carried him away, Kelp encounters some mysterious, sparking creatures who leave him wondering if maybe... just maybe... he isn't a NARWHAL at all.
The illustrations! The Narwhals! The Unicorns! And most of all, the main character, Kelp, and how the whole story is suffused with a joyous sense of love and acceptance... It's pretty magical.
Here's a fun book trailer:
Enjoy!

This book is so adorable and sells so well at our store. Have you seen the author's other book, Harriet Gets Carried Away? Harriet has two dads!
Hi Lunaballz - thanks for the recommendation - just put "Harriet Gets Carried Away" on hold at the library! Best, Lee
As soon as I read this book I realized what message it was trying to tell. This book is a very cute and easy way to teach kids about acceptance!
