Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A child and a whale embark on a beautiful journey together in this lyrical, gorgeously illustrated picture book about friendship, hope, and love for the world around us in the vein of The Fisherman & the Whale and Cynthia Rylant's Life .
Where land becomes sky and sky becomes sea, I first saw the whale and the whale first saw me.
A child joins a friendly whale for a magical journey of discovery. They sail the blue ocean, dance with dolphins, and tail-splash seagulls. But the child also sees an ocean filled with plastic trash. And that inspires a promise of help, for the whale and all earth's creatures.
"First published in Great Britain in 2021 by Scallywag Press Ltd."
Ages 4-8. Margaret K. McElderry Books.
Grades K-1. Margaret K. McElderry Books.
A whale takes a child on adventure across the ocean, and together they explore the wonders of the ocean world, but also the sad state of plastic pollution--and the child returns home to try and help the whale to save his marine home.
