Age range 3 to 6 This evocative picture book celebrates a child' s connection and kinship with whales, and will appeal to fans of If You Want to See a Whale by Julie Fogliano and Erin Stead Swimming, singing, and blowing bubbles - children and baby whales love many of the same things! This lyrical picture book compares the parent-child relationship with the bond between a mother humpback whale and her calf, showing how their underwater lives are touchingly like our own. Patterned in a call-and-response format, where the mother observes and the child responds, this book is peppered with facts and begs to be read aloud before bedtime. At the story' s end, acclaimed author Beryl Young and debut illustrator Sakika Kikuchi leave readers gently falling asleep, dreaming of the wonderful world we share with whales.
"[Young' s] lovely, soaring language . . . reflects great admiration and wonder for all humpback whales . . . A true homage to these wondrous creatures. "-Kirkus Reviews, STARRED review
