School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 K-Gr 2—A baby gray whale grows big during her adventure-ridden migration. Juana is a one-day-old gray whale. Born in a lagoon on Mexico's coast, she joins her mother and pod on their yearly migration to Alaska to spend the summer. Not only is Juana discovering all sorts of new things, but she is also learning about the dangers that lie ahead. This bilingual story from children's musician Mister G will mesmerize young readers with its beautiful illustrations, which depict the ever-changing landscapes. With easy-to-follow short sentences, readers learning either Spanish or English will be delighted with this wonderful translation. The author's note gives this a personal touch worth reading. VERDICT A lovely purchase for libraries serving English- and Spanish-speaking communities, this would also make a good choice for bilingual story time.—Carolina Youssif - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
