A rhyming, music-themed picture book about a seahorse whose tiny squeak gets drowned out by bigger, louder creatures, for fans of Not Quite Narwhal and La La La.

Pip loves to sing. But in the great big ocean, full of great big creatures, her little squeak just can't compete.

The more she tries to raise her voice, the more frustrated she gets, until she finally swims off in a huff.

But then . . . she finds something special that inspires her to sing again. Can Pip learn to love her quiet voice just the way it is?

With delightful rhyming text by Emily Arrow and adorable artwork by Ashlyn Anstee, this story celebrates the joy of music and will inspire readers to sing—just for the love of it!
