![]() ![]() Most of my initial ideas centered around a narwhal getting lost at sea and separated from its pod. However, my first attempts at writing a story about one of these little narwhals didn’t turn out so great. I started doodling little narwhals even more than monsters, dragons, robots, or my other usual favorite subjects. That such a creature which seems so fantastic actually exists caught my imagination. I must confess before seeing Nicklen’s book I didn’t really know about narwhals. The book has some absolutely stunning photographs of narwhals in it and my mind was o-fish-ally blown. I first got it into my head that I wanted to make a book featuring a narwhal after seeing the book POLAR OBSESSION by Paul Nicklen several years ago. ![]() There have been a number of iterations, but ever since NARWHAL first swam into my brain I knew one book wouldn’t be enough for me. NARWHAL: UNICORN OF THE SEA! started out as a PB, or actually a series of picture books. I’m thrilled you like NARWHAL AND JELLY! Thank you! I asked Ben to share the backstory of his most awesome underwater adventure… One such hilarious take is Ben Clanton’s new _ book series NARWHAL AND JELLY. ![]() ![]() Narwhals are fascinatingly cool, and lucky us, there’s a whole buncha new books that feature these unicorns of the sea. ![]()
