On the way to school, Little Chick notices all the other kids are traveling with a mom or a dad, a big brother or a big sister. Little Chick doesn’t have a dad or siblings. He has two mums. His friend asks: Want to borrow a bear brother? No! Little Chick likes being an only chick. Although he’s fascinated to see that some families swim together and some fly, some have teeth and some have beaks, he’s happy to be a chicken - and to be right where he’s meant to be - with the family that loves him.

A fascinating glimpse into a baby whale’s first migration from Mexico to Alaska; with a text in both English and SpanishWhen Juana is born in the warm waters of Mexico, the little gray whale isn’t quite what you’d call little—she’s already as big as a boat, and drinks over fifty gallons of milk a day to keep growing! Soon it’s time to make a long journey with her pod to their summer feeding grounds. They swim north day and night, passing many familiar landmarks and carefully avoiding orcas and fishing nets. After spending the summer eating their fill in Alaskan waters, Juana and her pod return to their beautiful Mexican lagoon, where another baby is about to be born, and the cycle begins again.Eye-catching illustrations and a playful narrative in Spanish and English combine to shine a light on these magnificent creatures—and are sure to inspire a new generation of whale lovers.
