Can You Share, Little Whale?

Book Synopsis

A strikingly-illustrated book about learning to share from Jonny Lambert, creator of Little Why, The Only Lonely Panda and I Love You More and More.

Little Whale does NOT like to share. She wants to be the one to lead the pod and to eat all the delicious fish by herself. And she certainly doesn’t want anyone to share her mum’s attention. But when her friend Blue shares a snack, Little Whale is inspired to set out on a journey to find the beauty of sharing with one another.

This heartwarming and tender story is ideal for parents who want to teach their children the importance of sharing. Just like The Squirrels who Squabbled by Rachel Bright and Jim Field, Llama Llama Time to Share by Anna Dewdney and It’s Mine! by Leo Lionni, Can You Share, Little Whale? is an insightful tale that celebrates the joy that comes from sharing.

Little Whale does not like to share and she definitely does not want to share her mum’s attention. However, a gift from one of her friends shows her that sharing is good, especially sharing with friends. This book is a good way to introduce the concept of sharing. The children will be captivated by the pictures and Little Whale’s enchanting and relatable story.
