WILL & KRILL

Deep in the Caribbean Sea lived a tiny, timid whale named Will.

Will wants nothing more than a friend. But she is so teeny-tiny that no one ever seems to notice her. She is ignored at finball practice, never chosen to play in the orca-stra, and always forgotten in a game of shell-and-seek. After plucking up all her courage, she sets out to find a friend. But when she finally finds the friends she's been dreaming of, who will stick up for them?

Through enchanting, under-the-sea illustrations, Will and Krill tells a tale for shy and quiet kids, encouraging them to find where they belong--and use their voice when it really matters.

Stacey Byer grew up on a Caribbean island filled with folktales and adventure, feeding her imagination. She wrote stories about giant possums living in mango trees and drew many pictures of what lurked in bougainvillea hedges. After graduating from Ringing College of Art and Design with a degree in Illustration, Stacey used her skills to promote art education and literacy on her island and worked with organizations such as Room to Read, UNDP, and Harper Collins UK. Stacey's experiences working with children have inspired her to write and illustrate stories all kids can enjoy.
