Nala the Narwhal Learns to Make Friends

A sweet, magical SEL picture book that helps shy little ones build social confidence–one “hello” at a time.

Nala isn’t just any sea creature–she’s a narwhal, the “Unicorn of the Sea.” Nala watches other ocean animals play and wishes she could join in–but when she feels nervous, her rainbow colors turn bright pink, and she doesn’t know what to say. With gentle encouragement, Nala learns that friendship can start small: a smile and a simple “hello.” After a few relatable (and funny) attempts, she meets a pufferfish who admits he gets nervous, too. That moment changes everything–Nala realizes she’s not alone, and that just saying “hi” is brave.
