Surf Soup: Wanda the Whale and the Lonely Littlest Sister
A Heartfelt Children's Book About Siblings, Inclusion, and Mindfulness (Surf Soup Series - Oceania Adventure)
Welcome back to Surf Soup Island, a magical place where ocean waves tell stories, creativity heals, and every child belongs.
In this moving and mindful children's book, young readers meet Wanda the Whale and her three older sisters-big whales who swim fast, speak loudly, and always stick together. But one whale is different: the Littlest Whale, the youngest sister, who's quiet, creative, and often left behind.
She's not included in their games. She's teased for swimming differently. And worst of all-she's the target of gossip. Feeling left out and lonely, the Littlest Whale learns how to find joy in being herself, through play, imagination, and her own quiet strength.
Featuring Prana the Piranha, a yoga-loving fish who helps kids understand mindfulness, and Cokie the Coconut, a silly but surprising reminder of how gossip can hurt, this Surf Soup story dives deep into the emotional waves of growing up with siblings.
This empowering ocean adventure teaches:
The value of inclusion, kindness, and standing up for others
How gossip and teasing affect emotions and friendships
The power of mindfulness, self-love, and emotional resilience
That being different is not only okay-it's wonderful
This beautifully illustrated picture book is part of the Surf Soup children's book series, known for celebrating imagination, social-emotional learning, and island adventures inspired by Oceania.
Perfect for kids ages 6-10, families, classrooms, and anyone who's ever felt like the smallest whale in the sea.
A gentle, hopeful story of healing from sibling exclusion, honoring loved ones who are no longer with us, and finding belonging-by staying true to yourself.
