About the program:Not Quite Narwhal tells the story of Kelp, who journeys over land and sea to figure out where he belongs and what it means to be different. Jessie Sima’s sweet, engaging picture book encouraged first-graders to consider how they’re unique, too. Writing coaches will guide them in polishing essays that explore and celebrate their individuality.
