- sweet exchange between a papa whale & a young one
- clean language
(uses “magical” to describe beauty) - gorgeous illustrations
- not entirely factually true, but endearing nonetheless*
- best read with tenderness & feeling
Type: picture book
Ages: 3-5
Author: Gianna Marino
*Though the focus is on a male migrating with this young one (I believe it’s typically the female?), this is still an enjoyable read that highlights the unbreakable bond between them. Just enjoy the fictional tale and study up on whales’ habits another time. 😉
My son, in particular, loved me reading this to him when he was younger. 💙
