Goodreads

Speck is a colorful, uplifting picture book about finding your place in the world. We follow a tiny white speck as it drifts from a tide pool into the open ocean, getting caught up in waves and seeing all sorts of sea life until the sheer size of the ocean feels overwhelming. Fortunately, the speck pushes through its discomfort and ultimately finds its place resting on the skin of a whale. The entire book is beautiful and the close-up illustration of the happy barnacles who have settled in the right place completely steals it. Great for a classroom or kids interested in sea life.
