Crab and Snail: The Invisible Whale

In Crab and Snail: The Invisible Whale (2022–present, HarperAlley/HarperCollins), the first issue of a planned series, young marine friends Crab and Snail encounter a mysterious, unseen creature in the tide pool. Created by author Beth Ferry and artist Jared Chapman, this gentle, humor-filled graphic novel introduces emergent readers to themes of friendship and curiosity. It marks the start of a cheerful, visually playful early-reader comic from a major children's publisher.
