Praise for Whale Shines
STARRED REVIEW
"At its core, Robinson's (What Animals Really Like) story is a tried and true tale of a wallflower realizing his potential. But her understated, offbeat voice and visuals-a mashup of classicism and graphic novel sensibilities-makes this a standout: up-to-the-minute modern in its irreverence and offhandedness, yet timeless in its understanding of a character's yearning."
-Publishers Weekly, starred review
"Sharp contrasts between light and dark are beautiful."
-Kirkus Reviews
"Children will embrace and understand the sincere, undervalued message of art as substantive and a way to "share one's world.” This inspiring tale of artistic collaboration between the whale and bioluminescent plankton will be shared again and again."
-School Library Journal
"The watercolor and pencil art makes excellent use of the spreads' wide horizontality; while the art projects and, indeed, the underwater world are on the literal side for such an artistic-themed story, there's a murky charm to life in the briny deep... What's particularly appealing here is the casual inclusion of a wide variety of approaches to art, making this an entertaining lead-in to art projects, especially those involving the natural world."
-Bulletin of The Center for Children's Books
