About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when their quiet or introverted child feels pressured to be louder or more like their peers. Walrus Song tells the gentle story of a young walrus who prefers the quiet music of the ocean to the loud bellows of his herd. When his unique, soft sounds are not accepted, he feels lonely until he learns to value his own voice. This lyrical, beautifully illustrated story is perfect for ages 3 to 7. It validates a child's quieter nature and opens a conversation about how everyone's unique song makes the world's chorus more beautiful.

Sensitive Topics
The core themes are loneliness and the feeling of being an outsider. These are explored metaphorically through the main character's experience of being shunned by his family group for being different. The approach is gentle and the resolution is entirely hopeful, emphasizing self-acceptance and the value of diversity within a community. The book is secular in its approach.
