OONA in the Arctic
WRITTEN BY KELLY DIPUCCHIO
Oona is on a mission! A baby beluga whale has lost her way from her family and needs help getting back to her icy arctic home! But Oona and her best friend Otto have never traveled from their warm ocean waters before. Will old ship maps and a compass be enough to lead them through the dangerous storms ahead? Oona may be a little mermaid, but she is determined to see this big adventure through! With a bit of bravery and help from some new friends, they'll do all they can to reunite this baby whale with her pod once more.
“Readers will find the bright colors and rounded figures inviting and they’ll also appreciate seeing mermaids of color, from Oona’s brown skin and full afro to Siku’s resemblance to the north’s Inuit. A lovely escapade.”

“Figueroa’s richly detailed digital illustrations effectively capture the mood of each scene with shifting palettes as the characters move through different ocean habitats with varying sea life; the visual details will keep budding oceanographers engaged.”
