This book was absolutely adorable. My 2-year-old son loves reading it with me and loves the illustrations. The entire book came together in such a wonderful way. As someone who loves science, I love how it has such a science base, but also is about friendship and kindness. I loved this book from start to finish.

This was cute and I loved the ocean puns. Will is a small whale, but she learns how to use her big brave voice to protect her new friends. Cute book and sweet message. If you have little ocean lovers I definitely recommend this for the bookshelf.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to read this. another cute story and lovely story for a family to read together.

Will and Krill is a sweet picture book about venturing out of your comfort zone to make friends. Will is lonely in his home and decides to go look for others. He makes friends and finds his voice along the way. The illustrations are adorable and this would make a great read aloud for younger kiddos.

Thanks to Broadleaf and NetGalley for an eARC of this book for an honest review.

This book was adorable. I can see children really loving this book and the pretty illustrations/images. I can't wait to see all the children love this book as much as I did.

Very cute story about a tiny timid whale who sets out looking for a friend and along the way finds a friend even tinier than herself and her big voice to speak up with. A great lesson that you can mighty even if you’re small as long as you use your voice to help others.

This book is absolutely adorable! The illustrations from every page are very eye-catching. The storyline is great too.
Will the whale does not fit in as he is smaller than all the other whales. He stays at home a lot to himself. One day will takes an adventure out to make a friend. On his adventure to make a new friend he ends up getting lost and crossing paths with Krill. Krill scared that Will would eat him like all the other whales, fears to show himself at first. An unlikely friendship with both benefiting from. Definitely recommend for any young child who stands out on their own uniqueness.

Very pretty colors. This book has a gentle feel to it. The message behind this book would be great for any shy kid out there. This book is a must have for ocean creature lovers.

A story where the meekest, most timid and tiny whale goes off in search of friends. There's no surprise it does (after all, the title features more than one character…) but when they get into the most mild peril such a picture book can have, what is to be done? It's colourful, it's sensible, and the message is quite well conveyed, but it isn't a great or memorable example of its kind. Three and a half stars.

Will and Krill is a short and sweet whale tale that inspires believing in yourself against all the odds, discovering you can be fiercely brave with the right motivation, and how you can sometimes find friendship even in the most unlikely places. The illustrations in the book are colorful and beautifully done leaving lots to look at and search for on every page. My son loved to spy all the different sea creatures and made his own “look and find” game throughout the whole book.

Thanks to the author and publisher for allowing us the opportunity to beta read this adorable story and for inviting us into a magical under-the-sea world where we got to see even the tiniest of us can accomplish big things.

Will and Krill. Such a cute read to my little one. Loved the illustrations with it as well. As I was reading this story to my little one, I thought, no matter small you may seem or how quiet you are, or as someone not being seen by others, you can still make an impact on someone who is willing to see you. Sometimes you just need the right friends to bring that out of you.

Thanks so much to netgalley and publishers for the ARC!

I really liked this story! It's very cute and well-written, and the illustration style is so appealing. I love the colour choices and how they complement the story.

I loved the illustrations. However, I felt like Will did not develop as a character as well as I would have hoped. Will spent so much time lonely. She did not really build much of a friendship with Krill before she stood up for her. I wish their friendship would have had more development during their travels back from Will being lost.

Beautiful illustrations. The colors and illustration style is so inviting and adorable. The story itself has a beautiful message of found family and standing up for yourself. It would make a wonderful read-aloud.

A heartwarming tale of a lonely whale in search of a friend. The art is gorgeous even in digital, so I am sure it will wow in person. A very simple and clear theme throughout, however it left me wishing for a little more depth. Enjoyable to read but not a repeat read.

This was a beautifully illustrated book. I enjoyed the story and that you can make friends no matter what their size.

Oh my gosh, this book is too sweet. Will is a quiet, timid whale who doesn't have any friends and mostly keeps to herself. But when her usually comfortable quiet gets to be too much, she sets out in search of a true friend. She gets lost in her travels, and comes across a tiny krill. Can a whale be friends with a krill? Can they help her find her way home?

This is an adorably illustrated story with a beautiful lesson and even some funny ocean puns to boot! Thank you to NetGalley and the author for providing me with a free eARC in exchange for an honest review.

I'm really glad that I got the chance to get an ARC copy of this book. It's definitely a book that I would read to my own kids, aged 4 and 2.

The illustrations are simply stunning, the colors and the whole vibe they give is so dreamy. The story is beautiful and beautifully written, with many lessons to learn from it, such as the importance of friendship, of finding your own voice and fight for what you care for. The soft and sweet way are those important things are said is so heartwarming.

This was a really sweet book about finding your voice and making friends! I enjoyed the bright illustrations and the puns. It would be a great read-aloud! Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for letting me read!

My toddler LOVED Will and Krill. The story was so sweet and the illustrations were wonderful. It was a bit confusing that Will was a girl but still so sweet and fun.
