In "The Safe Art of Whale Sliding," an ice castle drifts into the harbor, its unseen ruler, King Giant, demanding fish taxes with a booming voice that keeps the townsfolk at bay. When the king sets his sights on Chilly's hat, the curious little hero ventures into the frozen fortress to uncover the truth behind the icy tyrant’s presence. Art by Veve Risto brings the whimsical, frost-laden world to life, while the cover by John Carey captures the tale’s playful mystery.
