The Whale Who Wanted More
Rachel Bright

“The Whale Who Wanted More” follows the adventures of Humphrey, a whale with an insatiable appetite for new experiences. Humphrey swims through the ocean, constantly searching for something to fill a mysterious emptiness he feels inside. He tries various activities and collects an assortment of treasures, but nothing seems to satisfy his longing. The book addresses themes of materialism and the search for fulfillment in a way that’s accessible to young children. It gently encourages readers to look beyond material possessions and find joy in relationships and experiences.
