Dive into an undersea world full of friendship and adventure!

Eli the Eel is a cozy, rhyming picture book about friendship, courage, and acceptance. In the deep blue sea lives Eli, a gentle green eel who simply wants what every child wants: to be seen, included, and loved for who he is. Some sea creatures keep their distance until one brave act changes everything. With bouncy read-aloud rhythm and warm undersea art, this story invites conversations about friendship, empathy, and belonging.
