Abigail the Whale -- A NetGalley Review


Abigail goes to swimming lessons and believes that they are calling her a whale because of her size.  (This is typically how I felt, when kids would say things to me.)  Her swim instructor gave her a way of trying to see things differently.  She finds out that when she looks at things differently, others will see her differently.  In this book, Abigail finds out that her classmates are calling her a whale because of how good of a swimmer she could be. 
Abigail reminds me of, well, me.  Being larger in frame makes it hard, sometimes, to trust in ourselves and others. Several teachers tried to do similar things for me, but just one perceived hurtful thing can lead those with little self-confidence back to where we once were.

Thank you OwlKids Books and Netgalley for the digital ARC for me to give an honest review!
