I received a copy to facilitate my review. The opinions expressed here
are my own.
First let me say that we need more books like
this one. Chuga is a Beluga Whale. This
is his first migration to Black Pebbled Beach. He must make some very important
decisions that will affect him for life. Along the way he has the guidance of
his mother and others. This is a simple yet important book because every child
will be able to see themselves or others in this book. It deals with issues of
new friends, bullying, building relationships based on kindness, how to show
patience and most important, how to forgive. This will ring true with the
youngest to the oldest showing the consequences of decisions they make. This book is not preachy, which is what makes
it so wonderful. Along this journey there is much to be learned about life in
the ocean.
