This book brought forth a great story with it's well illustrated paintings, which were colorful and detailed. The storyline focused on a girl who meets a whale at sea while whale watching, which surely turns into a lifetime friendship.

Perseverance!

[Peacegal]

The uncertain nature of wildlife watching, as well as its moments of transcendence, is communicated beautifully in this thoughtful, peaceful story.

There are so many great elements here: patience, seeing whales as individuals, nonconsumptive enjoyment of nature, and recognition of the bond all beings share. The final page, when the girl in the story meets one whale up close, is especially memorable, as it ties together this theme of wonder and interconnectedness of all life.
