### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fun and inclusive children's book
  

*by K***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2023*

This is a very cute book. They is a very good author illustrator.  My 6-year-old started watching the Not quite narwhal Netflix series and I had to get the book. I like the origin story of Kelp a little bit better in the book, however it is strange that in the book his head bubble remains even when on land. The story is cute. About a unicorn born in the water who doesn't quite fit in with the Narwhals. He discovers unicorns on land but doesn't quite fit in there. In the end he might just be able to have it all.

    Sometimes you’re a little different, and that’s okay.

Kelp we are told, was born deep in the ocean and looks remarkably similar to his friends–similar that is, yet different. There is this odd (but charmingly drawn) bubble around his head, and his body isn’t shaped exactly the same way as everybody else’s. He doesn’t like the same foods and doesn’t excel at the same things his friends do either. The great thing is though, nobody cares! His friends, all narwhals, love him just the way he is.One day, Kelp gets caught up in a current that takes him far away from his narwhal friends to a land where he discovers others, unicorns, who look and act just like him. They also embrace him and teach him everything they know.Kelp now has a choice. Does he stay with the unicorns or go back to the narwhals? You’ll be happy to know, Kelp embraces both his identities, and, lives happily ever after.Sima’s illustrations are elegant and, dare I say sweet. I usually loathe to use the word sweet because it kind of sticks in your mouth and leaves that sugary aftertaste. But not Sima’s illustrations. They invoke a warmth that leaves you feeling secure and in your happy place. As if by magic (because I know it’s really hard work and talent), she bridges the gap between traditional and modern illustration blending the styles and creating vivid images that are soft, welcoming, yet slightly edgy. Her use of lighting (see image below) is particularly striking.Aimed primarily at the four to eight-year-old crowd, this book is going to stay on my bookshelf for a long time. There is much to unpack in it and many levels to analyze.Different is good, self-acceptance is good, acceptance of others is good, all of these themes are packed into a sweet, never before told story. And, as the child grows, the allegories can grow with the child; from a simple story of accepting a child who is different (race, color, nationality, creed, etc.) to a broader story identity and self. By the way, there is a special surprise on the end papers of this book. I don’t want to give it away, but it does involve a rhinoceros.
