The Snail and the Whale

Lukas’s Mom’s favorite part of this story is the adventure! As an expat, the idea of hopping on the back of a humpback whale and setting off to see the world sounds pretty tempting… :) It’s a lovely story for little ones who are just beginning to discover how big, exciting, and full of adventure the world can be.

A wonderful adventure about seeing the world, friendship and discovering that even the smallest person can make a big difference.

Why I chose it

I chose this one for the little ones who are always asking “where does that go?” and dreaming about seeing what’s beyond their little corner of the world.

I love the message that you don't have to be big or brave to have an adventure — and that even the smallest of us can help someone else. The rhyme makes it especially wonderful to read aloud, and the journey gives children so much to look at and talk about.
