I Looooove You, Whale! by Derrick C. Brown, Illustrated by Amanda Atkins - Hardcover

In I  Looooove You, Whale!, a young boy faces discrimination when he's denied the opportunity to become a lifeguard due to his deafness.

Undeterred, he finds solace by spending his days at the shore. During his time there, he discovers a distressed Beluga Whale entangled in trash and embarks on a mission to rescue it.

Through their shared journey, an unexpected friendship forms, and the boy learns to appreciate the beauty of an oceanic world devoid of sound. As they bond, he realizes that the whale also has a mission of his own - to save something dear to him.

Together, they embark on an unforgettable adventure of mutual rescue and compassion.
