Johnny the Walrus

Johnny is a young boy with a vibrant imagination, often pretending to be various creatures and characters. His favorite current role is a walrus, complete with spoons for tusks. However, when 'internet people' discover his imaginative play, they pressure him and his mother to make a permanent decision about his identity, forcing him to choose between being a boy or a walrus. The story follows Johnny's journey as he navigates external pressures, attempts to live as a walrus, and ultimately realizes the importance of being true to himself while still enjoying pretend play. The book is a satire intended to critique contemporary discussions around gender identity.

From Daily Wire personality and bestselling children's book author Matt Walsh comes a timely tale of innocence, identity, and imagination. Johnny is a little boy with a big imagination. One day he pretends to be a big scary dinosaur, the next day he's a knight in shining armor or a playful puppy. But when the internet people find out Johnny likes to make-believe, he's forced to make a decision between the little boy he is and the things he pretends to be -- and he's not allowed to change his mind.
