When a friend needs more than a bright side

Walrus is known for cheering up his friends, but a broken tusk at the Great Iceberg Classic gives him a hurt of his own. As Narwhal listens, Walrus begins to see that acknowledging pain can matter more than trying to find a silver lining. The picture book frames friendship as attentive listening and makes room for difficult feelings alongside optimism, without suggesting that every setback needs a positive spin.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 exploring friendship and emotional understanding
  • Families and educators seeking a picture book about listening and responding to others’ feelings

Book overview

A gentle and moving picture book about how looking on the bright side might not always be the brightest solution.

Walrus is such a good friend. In fact, he's so good at cheering friends up and finding the bright side in any situation that sometimes his friends call him "Wowrus."

But when Walrus breaks a tusk during the Great Iceberg Classic, it hurts! He doesn't want to hear about the silver linings of having only one tusk! As he nurses his wound, Walrus starts to understand that pointing out the positive doesn't always help. It takes Narwhal listening to him for Walrus to realize that perhaps not everything can--or should--be bright all the time...and that's okay too.
