A review by lattelibrarian
Emma and the Whale by Julie Case

4.0

I'd been wanting to read this for a long time, so it was like fate when I happened upon the ARC.  Between the beautiful writing and the stunning illustrations, this book is definitely one that I want to purchase for myself, for my friend's babies, for my baby nieces and nephews...it's a fantastic tale of animal activism, love, and hope.  I definitely think that this one will be a contender for next year's Caldecott, and I'll be interested in seeing how far it goes in my class's mock version!
